It has been so hot here and I just can’t get enough smoothies. It is very important to make smoothie with the right amount of protein and fat to stay full on focused until lunch. Watch my video about how to make a good smoothie on Periscope here. This Keto Chocolate Smoothie has gelatin that can help heal the gut lining and support supple joints and soft skin. It also has resistant starch which feeds good bacteria and will help you have better digestion. If you are concerned about carbs, leave it out but for many people it doesn’t affect blood sugar.

Looking for more low carb and keto smoothie recipes?
Smoothies are great for breakfast, pre or post workout, as mid morning or afternoon snack or at any time of the day. The best part about the smoothies is that they are quick and easy to prepare which make them a perfect grab and go food option for those with busy and hectic lifestyles. So you would want a smoothie when you do not have time to cook.
