Nutty Chocolate Keto Shake
- 150 ml water
- 50 ml of double cream
- 20 grams walnut
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- The Protein Works Zero Syrup (to taste)
This recipe is pretty straightforward: add all the ingredients to the blender and blend away for 20-30 seconds. If you want something cooler, add some crushed ice to the mix. You can make this a double choc shake by adding some dark chocolate, as long as the chocolate has a high cocoa percentage (85% and up).
As for macros, this keto shake is just under 400 calories and has 39 grams fat, 7 grams protein and 5 grams carbs. Feel free to mix thing up and switch out ingredients: instead of cocoa powder and walnut, you can add frozen strawberry and avocado for a more fruity flavour.
3 top tips for making your own keto shake
- Track macros: keto diet is a low carbs, moderate protein and high fat diet. You can have loads of different food items in the shakes but try avoiding sugary fruits (banana, mango orange etc) and high carb elements – cashews are a regular offender here.
- Water is the best solution: literally. Want something thicker? Cut the amount of water in the shake. Want something more filling? Add more water. You should drink plenty of water anyway to boost metabolism naturally.
- Try adding veg to the mix: kale and spinach are excellent shake ingredients but you can also give cucumber, celery and even tomatoes a try.
