you only need 5 ingredients (and you probably already have all of them at home if you’ve been keto for a while)
it tastes amazing and tastes exactly like the real thing.
Let’s hear Al’s experience…
It is just sad when you are on keto diet and you crave something sweet…
Thank god, recently I discovered a chocolate milkshake recipe.
Keto diet is now easier.…
Before we start…
A Short History of the Milkshake
Credit: dessertmenu.com
Are you aware that the first “milkshakes” were alcoholic?
The first time the term milkshake appeared in print,…
…it referred to a drink made with eggs and whiskey!
It was back in 1885, and it didn’t last. By 1900…
…it had come to refer to a flavored drink made with syrup…
…such as chocolate or strawberry.
In 1922, Walgreens employee Pop Coulson added ice cream…
…to malted milk and created the first milkshakes as we know them today.
A number of countries became enamored with milkshakes…
…as a result of this combination.
With the invention of the Freon-cooled refrigerator…
…and the automated milkshake machine in the 1930s…
…milkshakes became even more popular, securing their place in food history!
Here we go…

This section is where I go a bit more in-depth…
…about the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe.
(You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card that’s embedded below this section!)
almond milk:unsweetened almond milk will be the base of our recipe. Almond milk is incredibly low carb (Only about 0.2g/100g) and doesn’t have a strong taste of its own which makes it perfect for recipes like this.
in case you are looking for it, here’s what I recommend you!

heavy cream: I already make other keto milkshake recipes that don’t necessarily require heavy cream to taste good, but in this recipe it’s a must in my opinion. A chocolate milkshake has to have a creamy mouthfeel – low carb or not!

If you still don’t feel like you’ve gotten enough calories…
…or fat on that particular day, top your chocolate milkshake…
…with sugar-free whipped cream!
It tastes delicious (and looks fantastic), but keep in mind…
…that it will add a significant amount of calories to your diet…
…which can quickly add up.
sugar-free cacao powder: Make sure it has no added sugar! 100% cacao powder will add a strong chocolate taste without adding a lot of carbs.

However, because erythritol does not dissolve well in water…
…it is unsuitable for this recipe. It’ll just collect at the bottom…
…which isn’t a pleasant milkshake experience.
Instead, I recommend using any liquid sweetener you like …
…anything you like is fine. I don’t care for liquid stevia…
…because I’m one of those unfortunate souls who can detect the aftertaste…
1 tbsp baking cacao powder/ dutch processed cacao powder/ raw unsweetened cacao powder (6g) (different names are used in different parts of the world)
liquid sweetener to taste
5 ice cubesOptional: ½ tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
Instructions:
Add all of the ingredients into a high-performance blender.
Blend for approx. 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the ice cubes have been shredded by the blender.
Fill into a jar and serve right away.

How to Make a Chocolate Milkshake Without Ice Cream.
In a traditional milkshake, ice cream is used, but on a low carb diet..

…and if they are, they might contain unnatural sweeteners or flavors.
It’s surprisingly easy to make a delicious..
…creamy milkshake without ice cream.
