This Keto Strawberry Smoothie is made with only 3 ingredients and brings only 6 grams of net carbs for a breakfast drink packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber from ingredients like almond milk, heavy cream, and strawberries.
If you have tried many of my low-carb smoothies, such as my Keto Peanut Butter Smoothie, Keto Chocolate Smoothie, or Keto Blueberry Smoothie, you’ll love this one too! Strawberry is not the lowest-carb berry compared to raspberries, but it’s still fine if eaten in moderation!
It is much easier than ice cream to make, gluten-free, and with a dairy-free option! And if you want some great keto strawberry baking recipes to pair with this smoothie, add one of my keto strawberry muffins or strawberry pop tarts on the side!
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make a creamy, frothy smoothie with strawberries are:
- Frozen Strawberries – Frozen fruits create frothy creamy smoothies without the need for bananas that are not keto-friendly!
- Almond Milk – or unsweetened coconut milk for a strawberry coconut keto smoothie.
- Heavy Cream – or coconut cream for a dairy-free option. You can also make this keto smoothie with yogurt using plain yogurt, like Greek yogurt. Finally, the last option is to make a keto smoothie with cream cheese. This option gives the drink a similar taste and texture to a Starbucks strawberry and cream Frappuccino!
- Erythritol – or xylitol for sweetness. You can replace this with stevia drops.
- Vanilla Extract – This is optional.
- Ice Cubes – This is optional if you use frozen strawberries.
There are so many ways you can boost the flavors of this keto strawberry smoothie recipe by adding or changing some of the original recipe ingredients. For example, you can improve the creaminess of this keto smoothie with strawberries by adding:
- Ripe avocado – add 1/4 ripe avocado flesh for a super-thick shake. It will darken the color of your smoothie but tastes amazing.
- Cream cheese – dreaming about a strawberry cheesecake smoothie? Add 2 tablespoons of soft cream cheese to your blender, or swap the heavy cream with the same amount of cream cheese.
- Chia seeds – for a boost of protein and fiber, add 1 teaspoon to keep the net carbs in control.
- Protein powder – add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite keto protein powder.

Amazing! Made it for my husband. Used all the usual ingredients except the almond milk. I used keto milk. And only put half a teaspoon of vanilla. Used 1 teaspoon of monkfruit sweetener. Finally added his chocolate protein powder. HE WAS IN SHOCK. It tastes so good!!! Definitely saving this recipe!
Can you use classic monkfruit? That has erythritol in it.
Yes, monk fruit blends are fine!
Best keto smoothie imaginable! I adored it! Used Besti allulose blend powdered sugar,1 & 1/2 TBS of cream cheese, 2/3 tsp vanilla since keto powder vanilla & used 5oz of strawberries because I love them. Added some keto Redi whip on top for fun. It was perfectly creamy & thick. Thank you for generously sharing—glad I discovered your site looking for this👍🏻
This is delightful. I added the suggested avocado and vanilla protein powder. I like to mix my sweeteners. I used small amounts of each.Powdered stevia,liquid vanilla stevia drops and granular allulose.That mix is easier on my digestive system. Really delicious!
Perfect after workout keto smoothie!
Doubled the strawberries and added TBSP almond butter. Mm mm good!
5 star
Excellent. Perfect. I’ve tried countless recipes & my search is finally over.
Delicious! Thank you!
I just made this and it was delicious. I was looking for something to have as a quick snack and this was just what I needed. It was delicious. Thanks.
Hello 🙂 can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen? Thanks in advance. Love the chocolate avocado and chocolate pb smoothie recipes, excited to try this one too!
Sure, but then the smoothie will be less frothy, more liquid, add ice cubes to balance the texture! Enjoy!
I can’t wait to try this
Very yummy! I subbed extra frozen fruit for the ice and forgot the vanilla… But I added vanilla keto protein powder so it worked!
Can I sub blueberries in for the strawberries and keep everything else the same?
Sure, both are keto friendly fruits
When you say vanilla do you mean vanilla extract?
Yes! Enjoy the drink, XOXO Carine
