💡 Tips for the Perfect Keto Shake

• Creamier texture: Use full-fat canned coconut milk instead of almond milk.

• No aftertaste: Mix sweeteners (like erythritol + stevia) for better flavor balance.

• Extra thick: Let chia seeds sit for 5 minutes before blending.

• Meal replacement: Add protein powder or collagen for a more filling shake.
