Are Smoothies Keto?
Yes, smoothies can be keto-friendly if they are prepared with low-carb, high-fat ingredients. Traditional smoothies often contain high amounts of fruit, which can be rich in natural sugars and carbohydrates, making them less compatible with a strict ketogenic diet. However, by using low-carb fruits and vegetables, incorporating healthy fats like avocado or coconut oil, and choosing unsweetened dairy or non-dairy alternatives, you can create keto-friendly smoothies.
