20 Keto Smoothie Recipes That Legit Taste Like Milkshakes
20 Keto Smoothie Recipes That Legit Taste Like Milkshakes
It's nearly the holiday season already (!), and that means
New Years resolution time is also right around the corner.
Maybe you want to get strong or lose a bit of weight, or maybe you just want to
plan ahead for eating like a normal person again in 2020 after tons of treats
and decadent family meals. Whatever the reason, you *might* be thinking about
trying the keto diet (I mean, come on, everyone and
their mother is these days).
Here’s the thing, though: Eating certain things is tricky on
keto, because the diet is all about going low carb and high fat. So does that
mean you’ll have to give up your beloved breakfast smoothie? Thankfully, no.
Since it's hard to just whip up a keto smoothie on the spot
and get the macros perfectly right, here are 20 keto smoothie recipes to help
you sip your way to ketosis, and those
killer keto weight-loss results everyone's talking about.
