Method
 

Step 1: Add Liquid Base
  1. Pour the unsweetened almond milk or macadamia milk into the blender first. This helps prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
Step 2: Add Fats and Flavor
  1. Add macadamia nuts, heavy cream or coconut cream, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, keto sweetener, and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 3: Add Optional Boosters
  1. If using MCT oil, coconut oil, chia seeds, flaxseed, protein powder, or xanthan gum, add them now.
Step 4: Add Ice
  1. Add ice cubes last. This ensures proper blending and helps achieve a thick, frosty texture.
Step 5: Blend
  1. Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
Step 6: Taste and Adjust
  1. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity as needed. Add a splash of almond milk if it’s too thick.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
  1. Pour into a glass and enjoy fresh for the best taste and texture.
