Strawberry lovers, I have great news for you: Strawberry is on the approved keto fruit list!
Strawberry is not the lowest-carb berry, compared to raspberries, but still fine if eaten in moderation!

It is much easier than ice cream to make, gluten-free, and with a dairy-free option!
And if you want some great keto strawberry baking recipes to pair with this smoothie, add one of my keto strawberry muffins or strawberry pop tarts on the side!
Is Strawberry Smoothie Keto?
Unfortunately, not all strawberry smoothies are keto-approved. The ones sold in most cafes are made with many not keto-friendly foods like bananas, milk, or dates.
All these ingredients are high in carbs and sugar, and that’s why you have to make your own strawberry smoothie recipe on a keto diet.
How To Make This Keto Strawberry Smoothie
The good news is that a keto smoothie is very easy to make at home.
Ingredients
All you need to make a creamy, frothy smoothie with strawberries are:
- Frozen strawberries – frozen fruits create frothy creamy smoothies without bananas that are not keto approved!
- Unsweetened almond milk – or unsweetened coconut milk for a strawberry coconut keto smoothie.
- Heavy cream – or coconut cream for a dairy-free option. You can also make this keto strawberry smoothie with yogurt using plain yogurt like Greek yogurt. Finally, the last option is to make a keto strawberry smoothie with cream cheese. This option turns the drink into a similar taste and texture as a Starbucks strawberry and cream Frappuccino!

- Erythritol – or xylitol for sweetness. You can replace this with stevia drops too. Head to my keto sweetener converter to learn how!
- Vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
Smoothie Add-Ons
There are so many ways you can improve this keto smoothie recipe by adding or changing some of the original recipe ingredients.
For example, you can improve the creaminess of this keto smoothie with strawberries by adding:
- Ripe avocado – add 1/4 ripe avocado flesh for a super-thick shake. It will darken the color of your smoothie but tastes amazing.
- Cream cheese – dreaming about a strawberry cheesecake smoothie? Add 2 tablespoons of soft cream cheese to your blender, or swap the heavy cream with the same amount of cream cheese.
- Chia seeds – for a boost of protein and fiber, add 1 teaspoon to keep the net carbs in control.
- Protein powder – add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite keto protein powder.
Allergy Swaps
This is a healthy strawberry smoothie recipe, low-carb, with no added sugar, and full of healthy fats. Keto or not, this strawberry smoothie with almond milk will make everyone happy.
If you are allergic to some of the ingredients, you can make the following substitutions:
- Strawberries: Swap for another low-carb fresh fruit.
- Heavy Cream: swap for a dairy-free alternative like thick coconut cream.

Perfect after workout keto smoothie!
Doubled the strawberries and added TBSP almond butter. Mm mm good!
5 star
Excellent. Perfect. I’ve tried countless recipes & my search is finally over.
Delicious! Thank you!
I just made this and it was delicious. I was looking for something to have as a quick snack and this was just what I needed. It was delicious. Thanks.
Hello 🙂 can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen? Thanks in advance. Love the chocolate avocado and chocolate pb smoothie recipes, excited to try this one too!
Sure, but then the smoothie will be less frothy, more liquid, add ice cubes to balance the texture! Enjoy!
I can’t wait to try this
Very yummy! I subbed extra frozen fruit for the ice and forgot the vanilla… But I added vanilla keto protein powder so it worked!
Can I sub blueberries in for the strawberries and keep everything else the same?
Sure, both are keto friendly fruits
When you say vanilla do you mean vanilla extract?
Yes! Enjoy the drink, XOXO Carine
