Keto Flu Electrolyte Smoothie
Making a Keto flu remedy that actually tastes good can sometimes feel challenging. This simple Keto flu electrolyte smoothie tastes delicious and uses simple ingredients packed with great nutritional value and hydration, making it a great flu remedy. This Keto-friendly smoothie is easy to make and takes only a couple of minutes, making it perfect for on-the-go, a quick breakfast alternative, or even a mid-day snack.
Can this recipe be customized?
This Keto flu smoothie can be customized according to your preferences and whatever ingredients you have on hand. For an alternative plant milk option, almond milk can be used in place of coconut milk. Coconut water is yet another great alternative to use, plus, it is packed with electrolytes. You can also replace stevia with any other Keto-friendly sweetener, such as erythritol, monk fruit, or xylitol. To take this Keto flu smoothie to the next level, add a few fresh mint leaves for a more refreshing taste.
Can you use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit?
Preferably, try using all fresh ingredients when making Keto flu recipes. However, if you prefer to have your smoothie chilled, you may use partially frozen ingredients such as frozen strawberries or simply pour your smoothie over some ice.
Will my smoothie taste salty because of adding Himalayan salt?
Adding Himalayan salt can seem a bit counterintuitive considering it is a smoothie. However, the addition of Himalayan salt to Keto flu recipes will enhance the flavors and provide an extra boost of much needed electrolytes.

Based on other comments ( lol @ wet avocado) I made a few adjustments that fit my macros. I added a a squeeze of lemon, a tablespoon of dark cocoa powder and used two drops of liquid monk fruit instead of stevia( ten drops sounds insanely sweet to me)—I also blended it with ice since I was using the vitamix. It definitely has a “health food” taste, so if you are just getting used to keto and your taste buds haven’t changed you might find it earthy. It most definitely helped my third day in ketosis headache go away.

I did not mind this. I think I cut too much ginger on accident but otherwise really good. I used frozen strawberries to give it more of a smoothie texture.

I had to add more water because it was very thick and wouldn't blend. It has the texture and flavor of drinking a wet Avocado. Next time I will add ice and lemon juice.
