How to Make a Keto Peanut Butter Smoothie {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of how to make this low carb peanut butter smoothie. For the recipe in detail, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Add all smoothie ingredients to blender except ice and blend until smooth.
⭐ TIP: Want a thicker smoothie without adding more ice? Add 1/8 tsp xanthan gum at this step! It’s net carb-free and will increase the thickness of the smoothie. You can double it to 1/4 tsp if want it a little thicker, but no more than that – too much xanthan gum and your smoothie will end up kind of goopy (not a great texture!).
Blend…
Then add ice.
And blend one more time.
⭐ TIP: You can add more ice if desired, but that may dilute the flavor slightly and require you to add additional keto-friendly sweetener to taste.
Pour into a glass and top with chopped peanuts and keto-friendly chocolate. For an even more dessert-like treat, top with keto whipped cream!

Not only should you use unsweetened peanut butter, but you should make sure it contains no other ingredients but peanut butter and (optionally) salt. Some peanut butter brands try to sneak in hydrogenated oils in addition to peanuts, but you don’t want that in your peanut butter!
