This breakfast smoothie tastes like orange creamsicles but with none of the carbs. It's sweet and tangy with hints of vanilla, collagen and eggs for extra creaminess and protein which will help you stay full for longer.
How about raw eggs, aren't they going to make this smoothie taste eggy? Not at all! Unlike cooked eggs, raw eggs get really frothy and taste completely neutral. Just make sure you're using pasteurized eggs to keep this keto smoothie safe to consume.
Recipe Tips
This recipe has a shake-like consistency. If you prefer a creamier, thicker smoothie, here are some of the options you can add before blending:
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- 1-3 teaspoons of raw cacao powder or Dutch process cocoa powder for a thicker mocha flavored smoothie
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of chia seeds (don't use too much, you don't want to make chia pudding)
- 1/8 teaspoon of xanthan gum or glucomannan powder
If you can't have dairy, use coconut cream instead of cream. Instead of collagen you can use whey protein isolate or egg white protein isolate.
Tip: This smoothie is ideal for those who follow a higher protein keto diet but you can make any adjustments in this recipe directly in the KetoDiet App by cloning and customizing it to fit your macros and preferences.

How To Pasteurize Eggs at Home
If a recipe calls for raw eggs and you are concerned about the potential risk of Salmonella, you can make it safe by using pasteurized eggs.
To pasteurize eggs at home, simply pour enough water in a saucepan to cover the eggs. Heat to about 60 °C/ 140 °F. Using a spoon, slowly place the eggs into the saucepan. Keep the eggs in the water for about 3 minutes. This should be enough to pasteurize the eggs and kill any potential bacteria. Let the eggs cool down and store in the fridge for 6-8 weeks.
