Keto Peanut Butter Smoothie – Best Keto Smoothie – Dairy-free
This Keto peanut butter smoothie is a light and refreshing keto smoothie with a delicious peanut butter flavor. Plus, this is a dairy-free low-carb smoothie with only 4.7 grams of net carbs per serving.
Calling all the peanut butter lovers! You’re one of them, right? You will love this keto smoothie recipe as a sweet keto snack, a post-workout drink, or breakfast on the go.
Low-carb smoothies are so convenient to kick off a busy day. And let’s face it, we all get bored of eggs for breakfast, so a keto breakfast smoothie is a great alternative.
Is peanut butter keto-friendly?
Yes, you can have peanut butter on a keto diet. Obviously, it has to be pure peanut butter made of 100% peanuts with no added sugar, no added oil.
In fact, vegetable oils are not keto-friendly, and many brands add oils or sugar to their products. So make sure to check the ingredient list and look for peanuts only or peanuts and salt.
So is this chocolate peanut butter smoothie keto? Yes, it very much is! Use it to top up your macros, and it can help you with your weight loss.

Can you take a Peanut Butter Smoothie as a Protein Shake?
Absolutely! Many Keto-friendly smoothies can be used as protein shakes. Just make sure to include enough good protein sources!

One way to add some healthy, keto-friendly proteins is to add a scoop of low-carb protein powder. Most of them would not alter the total carbs but would boost your proteins!
Ingredients for a Keto Low Carb Peanut butter Shake
This is an easy keto breakfast smoothie ready in 5 minutes using only 6 wholesome ingredients. Bonus, it’s also a vegan smoothie if you are using canned coconut cream instead of heavy cream! Let’s have a look at the ingredients you need to make this magical refreshing keto drink.
- Peanut butter – as mentioned above, make sure you use natural peanut butter, no added sugar, no added oil.
- Sugar-free crystal sweetener – I love to use Erythritol or Monk fruit blend, but xylitol will work as well. Learn more about keto sweeteners.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – this adds a delicious chocolate flavor for the best chocolate smoothie.
- Cream – heavy cream or canned coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative. Learn why cream is a good keto-friendly dairy product.
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Ice cubes – play with the amount of ice and change the texture! For an icier, frothier low-carb smoothie recipe, add a few more ice cubes!

A light, refreshing low carb peanut butter smoothie
This keto smoothie is a light, refreshing smoothie. It is not a thick shake like my keto chocolate avocado smoothie recipe. However, this is a very fulfilling drink for breakfast with 15 grams of fat, 5 grams of proteins, and only 4.7 grams of net carbs!
Hi! Do you need help to start Keto?

How to make a keto smoothie?
Making a keto smoothie like this Peanut Butter Smoothie is ridiculously easy!
You need to combine your keto-friendly ingredients in a blender, in any order, and blend.
That’s it!
You can make variations of this keto smoothie if you add keto-friendly fruits or even keto-friendly vegetables. You can also pick another keto-friendly plant-based milk like coconut milk.
Why can’t I use dairy milk in a keto smoothie?
Of all dairy products, milk is one of the highest in carbs. Milk is therefore not keto-friendly since it contains a large amount of lactose, one of the disaccharides that increase blood sugar levels quickly.

Delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
I’m going to try all the recipes that’s posted..they all look delicious 😋
Awesome ! Enjoy the recipes, XOXO Carine
Oh I love this drink so much! It filled me up and definitely supplemented my cravings. I doubled the amount because I’m sharing with my toddler. It still turned out amazing! It has the correct portion of the ingredients, just the right amount. The heavy cream made it frothy on top which is awesome! I really enjoy this recipe and will absolutely add in my collection list of best keto smoothies! Thank you.
I would love to connect with you.
That’s amazing ! Don’t forget to check my keto smoothie eCookbook for more yummy keto smoothie recipes. Enjoy!
Second time I’ve made this one and I really like it. This time I just did the entire 2 serving recipe and drank it as one large one. I could get used to this smoothie, though I’d be curious to try it with almond butter as another poster said they did. Thanks for putting it together!
Thanks for that lovely feedback, so glad you found my recipes ! Enjoy, XOXO Carine
I would love to know where you get natural peanut butter with less than 180 calories per 2 tablespoons and how this recipe only has 172 calories for the whole thing when heavy cream has well over 150 calories by itself for 1/2 cup. I created the exact same recipe in my fitness pal and got total of 427 calories. everything else (carbs, fat, etc. was relatively the same.
The recipe serve 2 smoothie, it seems that you didn’t divide the nutrition panel by 2
How many mls is a cup?
I love this recipe. Oh my gosh I didn’t expect it to taste this good. Yet it does.
So happy with your recipe. Thank you
This was so good! I used Justin’s cinnamon almond butter instead of peanut butter. Just might be my new favorite evening treat.

Made this for breakfast yesterday and I loved it! Will definitely be making this one again and hope my husband enjoys it as much as I did! 😊
Great I love this smoothie very moreish
Was real good will make it again just going to cut the sweetener by half
Loved this smoothly . It wasn’t heavy or really filling so more of a sweet snack but I had to cut the sweetener by atleast half .
I’m trying to make sense of the net carbs, how is it so low with so much sweetener. The erythritol/monk fruit sweetener I have says 4g carbs per tap. I’m very new to Keto so trying to figure it out.
Sugar alcohol from keto sweetener are not assimilate and not included in the carb count on keto. On a keto diet, you count net carbs it’s total carbs minus fiber minus sugar alcohol.
Is it alright to add Chocolate Protein Powder?
Sure, but it will make the smoothie very thick so keep the amount low 1 tbps is great. Enjoy,
Can you use coconut milk instead of almond milk? Thank you
Can we use Almond Butter instead of Peanut butter? Would that still be considered Keto-friendly?
Sure! Almond butter is even better, it contains even less carbs than peanut butter. Enjoy,
Yes sure, but it will add a coconut flavor to the drink plus, if you are using canned coconut milk often is higher in carbs. Enjoy
Definitely making this again! I added a dash of vanilla and a pinch of salt and it’s just what it needed…divided the rest in ice cube trays for later
I liked this one. I just started the Keto diet. Even though I love the meals, I lost my appetite in that I’m just not hungry, which I read happens often, so I decided to try this since I felt I needed to eat / drink SOMETHING. It tasted great. Thanks!
I made it and it actually blew me away! Wasn’t expecting that! Wow!!! Thanks for the recipe. One question tho, I’m confused with the macros. You said the macros listed are for two small smoothies. So does this mean 6.3 grams of carb in each small smoothie? Or is it 6.3 grams of carb in the whole thing total (one while smoothie)? I’m only allowed 14g a day so I’m really trying to figure this out. Ty
Holy cow! This was so delicious! Definitely making that again.
This was amazing! Since starting keto I’ve struggled to find anything to satisfy my occasional sweet tooth. I just don’t care for many of the baked goods. This was perfect, and I was able to adjust the sugar (substitute) to my taste.
Doubled the recipe before realizing that we were running short on Swerve! Added some extra natural peanut butter to make up for it, and it turned out great!
We’ve made this recipe as written as well, and loved it just the same!
It was creamy, delicious, and tasted like a peanut butter cup in a glass!
