You see your friends having those tempting shakes, but you cannot have one because you are on a diet. Following a diet plan should not prevent you from enjoying what you eat. You should experiment with different recipes, and I am sure you will find a way to enjoy many of your favorite items. As for shakes, you cannot consume too many carbs on the keto diet, so regular milkshakes are not going to work for you. There are many keto shake recipes that will help you to still be able to enjoy your favorite shakes. The keto shake recipes below are not only delicious, but they are very healthy.
If you are searching for recipes like these, then you are in the right place. In this article, I will discuss in detail some keto shakes recipes. Try them, and I am positive you will enjoy them just like a regular high carb milkshake.
Are Keto Shakes Nutritious?
Regular milkshakes have a ton of carbs in them due to sugar. They are almost double the number of carbs than permitted on the keto diet. If you just half the carbs part and keep all the other things the same, you can enjoy a great shake. Keto shakes are very nutritious as they have a good amount of fats. As for the carbs part, you can use alternatives. Regular milk is usually replaced by coconut milk, and alternative sweeteners replace sugar.
