Sometimes all you’re craving is a thick, rich smoothie, but don’t know what to put in it. We have created a super simple Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie that you can make in under 5 minutes and will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings without the added guilt that comes from the high carb cheesecake indulgence.
Filling Keto Breakfast Ideas
A lot of people are fans of a later eating window in the form of intermittent fasting, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a filling keto breakfast at 1 or 2pm. This smoothie is the best keto breakfast, dessert combination, but if you’re a fan of traditional breakfasts you can try our keto breakfast casserole, coconut pancakes or keto oatmeal!
Easy To Make Keto Smoothies!
Sometimes the best smoothies are made out of spontaneously tossing delicious ingredients into a blender and combining until thick and creamy. This smoothie was inspired by Matt’s younger sister, Michelle, and she nailed the pin on the head. But, it’s just as easy to swap out the berries, add nuts, coconut flakes, chia seeds and anything else you have in your panty to make a easy keto smoothie!
Low Carb Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie
This is the second recipe in our three drinks under 5 minutes and it is my (megha) absolute favorite. I’m no normally a fan of blueberries or smoothies for a meal, but this makes a great after dinner treat to hold me over until the next day. Before you shy away from this low carb blueberry cheesecake smoothie, consider any of your favorite additions or even a different berry to hit the smoothie spot for you!

Yummmm! I didn’t have any protein powder so I just threw in some chia seeds! Turned out good ?
I was really hesitant about trying this one because I’ve never had a taste for Cheesecake. It’s always just been one of those things that I never did enjoy. I was also worried about the blueberries because they have one of the highest carb counts in berries. I took the plunge tonight and whipped one up in the blender (and 30 grams of blueberries isn’t really all that much. I pulled my scale out just to make sure I didn’t overdo it. For me, it was only about 6 berries). I also didn’t have any Flax milk, so I used my Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. Anyways! It’s DELICIOUS! The hint of blueberry with the vanilla is perfect. This will definitely become a regular.
Tried this today. It’s pretty tasty! I get a much higher carb count though. 2 carbs for the cup of unsweetened flax milk, 4 carbs for two ounces of cream cheese, 1 carb for my protein powder (not the kind you use) and 4 carbs for blueberries. That’s net carbs (I subtracted fiber) so it’s more like 11 for a serving of this and not 5. It was so filling I could only drink half — that naturally lowered my carb intake haha — and I froze the rest for tomorrow.
Wish I knew how to get this down to 5 total carbs!
Do you think its safe to use a scoop or two of Halo Top Vanilla Ice cream to give it more body?
You could try it! What do you mean by safe? haha
Hi, Megha ~ I just made the Blueberry-Cheesecake smoothie and it was amazing! Loved every carb, every calorie, every drop! I looked at all the ingredients over and over, though, and using your measurements and brands, I came up with 410 calories. It caused no problems with my macros, but I wondered if maybe your cream cheese was different.
(As I type this, you’re making cinnamon pinwheels in the video in the sidebar. Now I have to track that one down and make those!)
I found it! My Fitness Pal was configured wrong for the Isopure protein powder and I missed it. Every time.
If you’ve ever heard of Emily Litella… in her immortal words, “Nevermind.”

Why do you switch between MCT oil and Coconut oil?
MCT oil is supposed to have more of the MCT #8 that we did the most, while coconut oil has many chains.
It just depends on which fat we feel like having.
On week 2 of Keto and just made this. This is quite possibly Heaven! Thank you for all of your recipe ideas!!!
Hi guys. I just made this for my husband and me. It was very very good! Would like to drink it every day. The question I have is this. The Isopure protein is sweetened with sucralose. I did not think that was healthy. Is there a protein out there that is sweetened with Stevia or erythritol? I bought the isopure because you recommend it on your website for several of your recipes. It is very good, but the sucralose is a red flag for me, as we are doing keto to try and regain our health. My husband had a massive stroke two years ago, and we need all the help we can get. Thank you so much for all you do and share with us. Thank you for any help you can give.
Omg tried this recipe as a smoothie bowl and it was awesome. Thanks Megha for the suggestion:)
I have been looking for high fat morning drinks that do not include caffeine. Sadly, I am allergic. This looks delicious!
Hey guys! So I know you guys use Isopure for protein powder, any other brands you would recommend? I know Quest is low carb as well. Any reason why you use Isopure, more options in that brand maybe?
Thanks!
We like isopure because we like the flavor, it’s low carb and we’re comfortable with the sweetener they use.
Hey Megha,
I just made this smoothie, and it was AMAZING!!!
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I’m still doing my research on the Keto way of living and will hopefully be joining soon. The information and tips that you provide, are very helpful.

Hi Megha and Matt. I have been entertaining the thought of purchasing a Vitamix but was not sure of the best one to get. I want it for smoothies for the most part, but I do want to start using a blender for other cooking applications as well.
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks
We think any blender will get the job done, and have heard great things about the Vitamix!
Hi Megha, it sounds really good! I bet you are loving your Vitamix, I love mine, it is a real workhorse and can do so much. Love all you guys do for us, keep up the good work, we appreciate all you do.
Good luck with your cookbook, it sounds great. I will get it if it is in Kindel, I hope so!
I tried this with the Cookies n’ Cream isopure and It is DELICIOUS! It gives a hint of graham cracker crust. I appreciate all the work you put into making these recipes. I haven’t had one fail me yet.
Can you make this without the protein powder?
Yes, it will still be delicious.
Been looking for a good keto smoothie recipe for a LONG time! This recipe is wonderful! Thank you!! We used raspberries, chocolate protein powder, and just 5 drops of liquid stevia, and added a big handful of fresh spinach. It was perfect! =)
Can’t you eliminate the protein powder or use something else?
Yes, you can leave it out.
Guys, I love everything about your website, recipes and videos. Thanks so much for all you do. Plus you two are so cute together. ?
Will this raise my insulin drastically?
It shouldn’t! Only 5g carbs.
