Keto Green Smoothie Surprise

Here’s a recipe for an awesome spinach smoothie with a sweet surprise - strawberries! The berries totally transform the flavor from “green” to “GREAT”! And with only 3 net carbs per serving, everyone loves this recipe, especially those on a low-carb or keto diet. Here’s how simple it is to make.

Start with really good strawberries. If you can’t find sweet, ripe strawberries, pick up a bag frozen berries from the grocery store. They’re picked and frozen at their peek - just let them thaw a bit before using.

Place the strawberries and fresh spinach in a personal blender (or large blender if you’re making a large quantity).

Add unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream.

Blitz until smooth and enjoy!

Keto Strawberry Shortcake

Get your skinny on with my low-carb, gluten-free, keto-friendly version of the summertime classic, Strawberry Shortcake. Each serving contains only 7 carbs!

Start by combining sifted almond flour, granular erythritol, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, melted butter, vanilla, and liquid stevia.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry.

And combine well.

Divide batter into 6 portions, which happens to work out perfectly if you use a #24 scoop.

If you don’t have a #24 scoop, try to form the batter into neat round mounds as shown.

Bake in preheated oven for about 13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely before using. This is a good time to prepare the strawberries and make the whipped cream.

Make the whipped cream by whipping together the heavy cream, vanilla, and liquid stevia. Chill until needed.

Carefully cut the completely cooled biscuits in half. The biscuits are fragile so the easiest way to do this is to use a small serrated utility knife.

Assemble each portion with 1/2 cup of whipped cream and 1/3 cup chopped strawberries.

Enjoy!
