About This Recipe
Thick, creamy, and dessert-level delicious, this Toasted Coconut Almond Butter Keto Milkshake blends full‑fat coconut milk, toasted coconut, and a touch of almond butter for a rich, dairy‑free treat. No ice cream needed—just 5 minutes, a blender, and keto‑friendly ingredients for a satisfying sweet sip any time of day.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup canned full‑fat coconut milk, well chilled
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 tablespoon toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons monk fruit/erythritol sweetener, to taste
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup ice
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa for a mocha twist
Instructions
- Toast the coconut: Add unsweetened coconut flakes to a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir for 2–3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Reserve a pinch for topping.
- Blend: Add to a blender—chilled coconut milk, almond butter, MCT oil, most of the toasted coconut, vanilla, sweetener, a pinch of sea salt, and ice.
- Adjust: Blend on high until ultra‑smooth and thick. If too thick, splash in more coconut milk; if too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Serve: Pour into a chilled glass. Top with reserved toasted coconut and, if you like, a dusting of cinnamon or cocoa.
