I love making this keto blueberry smoothie on mornings I feel like I am running behind and don’t have time to make breakfast. Putting protein powder in this smoothie really helps to keep me full until lunch time.
Blueberries are a superfood, so this smoothie has some great nutrient properties. Blueberries are a great source of vitamin C and have a great source of antioxidants too. Instead of making a plain protein shake after working out, this would be a great smoothie to make instead!

I am sorry to have to report that this smoothie totally bombed for us. It did not have much flavor and was very thin. I tried a couple of things to thicken it, which didn’t work. Plus, apparently neither of us handles MCT oil well. The other thing for me is that when I finished drinking the smoothie, I felt like I hadn’t eaten anything, and I stayed hungry all morning. I won’t be making it again.
I’m really sorry to hear that. Usually the protein powder will thicken it up quite well. What type of protein powder did you guys use, if you don’t mind me asking.
We use Designer Whey. It has served us well and for us has none of the negatives frequently associated with protein powder. If there is something you think would work better, I would be interested to know what it is.
Seems like it’d work the same as the protein I use. I typically just use Isopure brand since it’s the lowest carb on the market that’s easily available. Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the recipe much, though 🙁
I actually have some Isopure, but haven’t tried it yet. I will eventually get to trying it for smoothies, but I’m not sure I’d try it with this one… 😇
I don’t blame you at all – we have quite a few other shakes/smoothies you could use it in, though. I do hope you enjoy some of those a bit more 😅
