Keto Vegan Protein Shake

This is an easy vegan protein shake that has just the basics. You’ve got your plant-based protein powder, non-dairy milk, coconut oil for extra fat, and a couple of flavoring ingredients. However, the flavor is a light vanilla taste. You can read through the recommendations below for other flavored shake ideas, or you can add your own preferred flavoring ingredients. Turn the shake into a chocolate shake, berry smoothie, or an extra-sweet vanilla milkshake. You can also add your protein shake to a blender bottle and drink it after a workout. If you’re on a plant-based Keto diet, you can also incorporate your shake into any meal that needs extra protein. Ideally, make sure your protein still accounts for about 20% of your daily macros.

What other ingredients can you add to this protein powder?

This is a plain shake, so you may want to add other ingredients to flavor it to your liking. You can add 1-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the shake for a chocolate flavor. If you like vanilla, you can add a little extra extract or use pure vanilla bean. You may also consider adding an almond extract to enhance the nutty flavor. Try adding a sugar-free Keto flavored coffee syrup as well!

What are the benefits of vegan protein powder?

The great thing about plant protein powder (specifically pea isolate protein powder) is that you get a lot of protein and few other macros. That means almost you add zero carbs when you use plant protein powder. You can bulk up on the amount of protein you need, improve the flavor with Keto sweetener, and you’re good to go.

What other types of plant-based milk can you use?

Aside from almond milk, there are a couple of other plant-based milk types you can use. However, almond milk will have the lowest amount of carbs. Next would be coconut milk, which has about 8g net carbs per cup. You can also use oat milk, which has about 13g net carbs per cup.
