Why You’ll Love This Almond Milk and Blueberry Smoothie
I love this Blueberry Almond Milk Smoothie because it’s the perfect blend of flavours and thick creamy, slightly sweet, and just the right amount of tang from the lime zest. It’s my go-to when I need something quick, healthy, and satisfying. Plus, a huge bonus of adding extra protein to my diet!
Blueberry Almond Smoothie Ingredients
Before going keto, I loved smoothies, especially in the summer. Now that I have to ditch a lot of that fruit, I think it is great to have a great recipe like this one on hand to be able to still enjoy a low carb smoothie without all the carbs.
How To Make It
Making it is so simple. Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and mix until smooth.
Once it is blended, taste and adjust the sweetness or flavours to your taste.

Variations of Flavours
- Berry Explosion: Swap out half the blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a mixed berry delight.
- Chocolate Almond: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder or chocolate-flavored protein powder for a rich, chocolaty twist.
- Coconut Dream: Substitute the almond milk with coconut milk and top with shredded coconut for a tropical vibe.
Ways to Prepare
While a Blueberry Almond Milk Smoothie is best served fresh, here are a few alternative ways to enjoy it:
- Smoothie Bowl: Pour the blended smoothie into a bowl and top with granola, nuts, seeds, or fresh berries.
- Popsicles: Pour the smoothie into popsicle moulds and freeze for a cool, healthy treat.
- Overnight Oats: Stir the smoothie into a jar of oats and refrigerate overnight for a grab-and-go breakfast.
What to Serve with It
Pair your Blueberry Almond Smoothie with a handful of mixed nuts, a slice of low-carb toast with almond butter, or some scrambled eggs for a well-rounded meal.
Best Ways for Storing
If you need to store your smoothie, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as separation may occur. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays and blend the cubes when ready to drink.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Simply omit the Greek yogurt and whey protein isolate and replace with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt and egg white protein powder.
You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a half avocado to increase the fibre and healthy fat content, making the smoothie more satisfying. I like to add a couple of raw eggs to my shakes for an added protein and omega boost.
If you prefer a plant-based option, use a vegan protein powder made from peas, hemp, or brown rice without sacrificing the integrity of the recipe. You can also add unflavored (or flavoured) collagen powder to the shake.

DelishAre oats keto? Reference to overnight oats option
Hi Jenni, no they aren’t. The optional substitutions and additives are for anyone not just specifically for followers of a keto diet.

Perfect combo blueberries and almond milk, healthy and deliciousToo right
Why does bag of isolate say 25g protein but the values in this recipe say 1g
Hi Linda, at a guess you do not have WPI. An isolate has had the carbs removed and is high protein.
could you please confirm which ‘whey product’ you use? I am starting my journey in March and wanting to prepare myself with a lot of different options for meals. So many yummy recipes so far
Hi Aneke, I tend use mostly the Isopure Whey Protein Isolate that is available from iHerb.
Blueberry Bliss!
