High-Protein Chocolate Smoothie

I know what you're thinking. Aren't no-fat and low-fat foods off limits if you follow a keto diet? Not necessarily. In this recipe we are using Skyr which is no-fat Icelandic-style yogurt that is just as low in carbs and just as creamy as full-fat yogurt.

This breakfast smoothie recipe is perfect for those who follow a higher protein keto diet and are watching their fat intake.

Recipe Tips

Instead of zero-fat plain white yogurt you can use gull-fat, Greek-style yogurt. Some brands like Fage are 5% fat while other brands are 10% fat. Any of these options will work in this recipe.

If you can't have diary, simply substitute the yogurt with coconut yogurt. Keep in mind that this substitution will make the smoothie higher in carbs and calories.

If you want to make this smoothie vegetarian or vegan, substitute the collagen with whey protein isolate or egg white protein isolate or use sugar-free, plant-based option such as pean protein powder.

Each and every one of us has different dietary needs so it's only natural that you may need to adjust the macros in this keto recipe. You can make all these adjustments and more directly in the KetoDiet App by cloning any of the recipes from my blog and customizing them to fit your macros and preferences.
