Discover a refreshing and energizing way to enjoy your coffee while staying on track with your keto diet. This keto coffee smoothie is the perfect blend of strong cold brew, creamy goodness, and a hint of sweetness, making it an ideal pick-me-up for any time of the day.

Ingredients

1.5 cups strong cold brew coffee
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3-6 drops liquid monk fruit extract (to taste)
Dash of cinnamon
1 cup of ice

Instructions

1. Brew and Chill the Coffee:

Start by preparing a strong batch of cold brew coffee. To make cold brew, combine coarsely ground coffee beans with cold water in a large jar or French press. Use a ratio of about 1 cup of coffee grounds to 4 cups of water.

Stir to ensure all grounds are saturated, then cover and let it steep in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. Once steeped, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee filter to remove the grounds. Chill the filtered coffee until ready to use.

2. Combine Ingredients:

In a large mixing cup or directly in your blender, pour in 1.5 cups of the chilled cold brew coffee. Add 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream for a rich, creamy texture. Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to give a subtle, aromatic flavor.

Adjust the sweetness by adding 3-6 drops of liquid monk fruit extract, depending on your taste preference. Monk fruit extract is a great keto-friendly sweetener that won’t spike your blood sugar levels.

3. Add a Dash of Spice:

Add a dash of cinnamon to the mixture. Cinnamon not only enhances the flavor but also adds a touch of warmth and depth to the smoothie. This spice pairs exceptionally well with coffee, creating a cozy and comforting taste.

4. Blend it Smooth:

If you prefer a silky smooth texture, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy. The ice will help to chill the smoothie even further and give it a refreshing, slushy consistency.

If you enjoy a more textured drink, you can skip the blending step and simply stir the ingredients vigorously to combine them well.

5. Top with Ice and Serve:

If you haven’t blended the ice, add it directly to the glass after mixing the other ingredients. Stir the smoothie well to ensure all the components are evenly distributed. Pour the keto coffee smoothie into a tall glass, top with a bit more ice if desired, and serve immediately.

For an extra touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream if you prefer (make sure to use a keto-friendly whipped cream).
