👩🍳 Instructions

Flavor it up
Add the peppermint extract. Be careful—not too much, or it can overpower the shake. -
Boost it (optional)
Add protein powder and almond butter if you want a thicker, more filling shake. -
Add ice & blend
Toss in the ice cubes and blend on high until smooth, creamy, and frosty. -
Taste & adjust

Serve immediately

💡 Tips for the Perfect Keto Shake
-
Go easy on peppermint – A little goes a long way!
-
Use powdered sweetener – It blends better than granulated and avoids a gritty texture.
-
Make it thicker – Add more ice or a few frozen avocado chunks for ultra creaminess.
-
Dairy-free option – Swap heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream.
