This keto chocolate electrolyte shake is creamy, cold, and properly satisfying. It’s the kind of drink that helps you reset when you feel flat, snacky, or just need something quick that still feels like a treat.
It takes 3 minutes, uses simple ingredients, and you can tweak it to be thicker, sweeter, or more “coffee-ish” depending on the day.
Yo Keto swap: if you want this more filling, add a small splash of MCT oil (start small). It’s an easy way to increase healthy fats without adding carbs.
Ingredients
- 250 ml unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk beverage)
- 125 ml cold water
- 1 cup ice
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tsp keto sweetener of choice (to taste)
- 1 serve of an electrolyte mix from the Electrolytes collection (follow label directions)
- 1 tsp MCT oil from the MCT Oil collection (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional, if your electrolyte mix is lightly flavoured)
- Optional add-in: 1 scoop collagen from the Collagen collection
Method
- Add almond milk, water, cocoa, sweetener, electrolyte mix, and vanilla (if using) to a blender.
- Add ice and blend until smooth and frothy.
- Taste, then adjust. More cocoa for deeper chocolate, more sweetener if you want it dessert-level, or extra ice for a thicker shake.
- If using MCT oil, blend again for 5–10 seconds to fully combine.
- Pour into a glass and drink straight away.
Keto tip: why electrolytes matter on keto
When you cut carbs, your body tends to hold less water, which can also mean losing more sodium and other electrolytes. That’s why some people feel headaches, low energy, or cravings early on. A good electrolyte routine can make keto feel a lot easier day to day.
This shake is a simple way to get electrolytes in without forcing yourself to sip plain water when you don’t feel like it.
Short on time?
Keep it even simpler: mix your favourite electrolyte from the Electrolytes collection into cold water, then add a tablespoon of cocoa and sweetener in a shaker bottle. Not as thick, but it still hits the spot.
FAQs
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes. Stick with almond milk or a coconut-based milk beverage. The rest is naturally dairy-free if your add-ins are.
Will this kick me out of ketosis?
Not if you keep it to unsweetened milk, unsweetened cocoa, and a keto-friendly sweetener. Always check your electrolyte mix for added sugar.
Can I make it without a blender?
Yes. Use a shaker bottle. Mix liquids first, then cocoa, then sweetener and electrolytes. It won’t be as creamy, but it works.
How do I make it thicker?
Add more ice, reduce the water slightly, or include collagen. Blend a little longer to get it extra frothy.
