Smoothies are a fantastic way to fill up while getting plenty of protein, vitamins, and fiber. While being on the keto diet means cutting down on things like sugary fruits, some don't have to be entirely eliminated. That's why there are many keto-friendly foods that make a great smoothie. Just be mindful of the ingredients you're putting in the blender by loading up on leafy greens, like kale and spinach, and staying away from sugary, tropical fruits, like mangoes and bananas. Certain fruits, like blueberries and strawberries, are lower on the carb scale and can be eaten occasionally in small portions.

If you're going keto, treat yourself to one of these delicious smoothies that are low in carbohydrates and full of flavor but will still help your body reach ketosis to shed those pounds. We've pulled together 13 recipes that fit the keto bill, some with a few tweaks, but always remember to double check what you're putting in your smoothie to make sure you're sticking with your keto plan.
