- Coconut Milk (or almond milk): Delivers creaminess and richness, while keeping it dairy-free and perfectly keto friendly.
- Blueberries: Just a handful add that pop of naturally sweet-tart flavor and the glorious purple hue we all love.
- Vanilla Extract: Gives a warm, aromatic note that elevates the smoothie from everyday to unforgettable.

How to Make Keto Smoothie – Blueberry
Step 1: Gather and Prep Ingredients
Before you do anything, make sure you have everything measured and ready to go. Fresh or frozen blueberries both work beautifully, but if you use frozen, you’ll get an extra chill factor that’s perfect for hot days. If you’re using protein powder, have it handy to scoop in with the rest.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
Into your blender, pour in the coconut or almond milk first to help everything blend smoothly. Add the blueberries, vanilla extract, MCT oil, and protein powder if using. The order matters more than you’d think – liquids on the bottom mean less scraping down the sides later!
Step 3: Blend Until Silky Smooth
Pop the lid on, start at a low setting to get things moving, then ramp up to high. Give it a solid 30–45 seconds until everything is velvety and beautifully purple. If you like a thinner smoothie, add a splash more milk; for a thick, spoonable treat, toss in a couple extra frozen berries.
How to Serve Keto Smoothie – Blueberry
Garnishes
Presentation can make your Keto Smoothie – Blueberry feel like a café treat! Sprinkle a few extra blueberries, a flurry of unsweetened coconut flakes, or a swirl of coconut cream right on top. Chia seeds or a sprig of fresh mint add that final flourish and boost the nutrition, too.
Side Dishes
For a fuller meal, pair your smoothie with a hard-boiled egg or a little handful of nuts—both are satisfying and totally keto approved. If you like something sweet, try a slice of almond flour toast with a pat of almond butter to round things out while keeping it low-carb.
Creative Ways to Present
Pour your Keto Smoothie – Blueberry into mason jars for a picnic-ready vibe, or layer it in a bowl and top with extra berries and keto-friendly granola for a trendy smoothie bowl. For an on-the-go breakfast, pour into your favorite insulated travel cup and add a colorful straw. Kids love it frozen into popsicle molds for a sunshine treat that’s as healthy as it is tasty!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have extra, pour it into a sealed jar or container and store it in the fridge. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as the ingredients might separate a bit over time, but the flavor will still be fresh and vibrant for 1–2 days.
Freezing
For longer storage, freeze your Keto Smoothie – Blueberry in individual portions using ice cube trays or popsicle molds. When you’re ready for a smoothie, just blend the cubes with a little extra milk until smooth—no more wasted leftovers, and a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack awaits.
Reheating
Since this smoothie is meant to be enjoyed cold, you don’t need (or want) to reheat it. If you’ve frozen your smoothie, simply let it thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before blending, or microwave the frozen cubes in short bursts to gently soften them before blending.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes! Frozen blueberries work perfectly in this Keto Smoothie – Blueberry, and they make the smoothie extra thick and frosty straight from the blender. It’s also great for convenience—no need to worry about berries going bad.
Which is better for this recipe: coconut milk or almond milk?
Both are delicious, but coconut milk gives the smoothie a super creamy, tropical vibe and a little more richness, while almond milk keeps it lighter in flavor and texture. Use whichever you prefer or have on hand!
Can I make a nut-free version?
Absolutely! Choose coconut milk and be sure your protein powder and MCT oil are nut-free. You’ll still get all the creamy, dreamy goodness without any nuts involved.
Do I have to use protein powder?
Nope! Protein powder is totally optional. Skip it if you’re not looking for the extra protein, and the Keto Smoothie – Blueberry will still blend up beautifully delicious and satisfying.
How can I make the smoothie sweeter without sugar?
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a tiny squirt of your favorite low-carb sweetener like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol. Taste and adjust as needed—everyone’s sweet tooth is a little different!

If you’re ready for a breakfast or snack that feels like a fruity treat but keeps you right on track with your keto goals, give this Keto Smoothie – Blueberry a try. It’s simple, versatile, and always hits the spot—one sip and you might just find yourself making it on repeat!
