Is there anything better than a cold low carb milkshake on a hot summer day? I think not! My refined sugar-free milkshake can be made in just a few minutes, with a handful of pantry staples, which is great because you just never know when you’re going to be craving a keto vanilla milkshake. (Spoiler alert: probably ALL the time.) So, let’s grab this keto milkshake recipe – it’s time for dessert!
This keto shake recipe is cold, frothy, and sooooo creamy thanks to a rich blend of heavy cream and coconut milk, along with some vanilla and powdered monk fruit allulose blend. It’s everything you want in a low carb shake, and it’s perfect for sharing. (You can also try other types of keto friendly milk here.)
And you know what else this keto milkshake pairs with perfectly? A sunny day – and a tube of Earth Mama Mineral Sunscreen.
If you’ve been following Wholesome Yum for a while, you know how much I believe in natural products – and that includes not only what you put in your body, but what you put on it, too. I’ve been obsessed with Earth Mama sunscreen since I discovered it last year.
First of all, this sunscreen truly works (really, really well!) – which is kind of the main thing you want your sunscreen to do, right?
But the difference is, it doesn’t have all the potentially harmful stuff – parabens, artificial fragrance, oxybenzone or octinoxate. It was formulated by an herbalist and nurse to be gentle, moisturizing, and super effective.
I use this stuff for myself and my kids (here’s the kids’ version) all summer long… preferably with a keto vanilla milkshake in hand. 😉
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Coconut Milk
- Heavy Cream
- Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- Vanilla Extract
- Ice Cubes
How To Make A Keto Milkshake
You are less than 5 minutes and 2 steps away from making the most amazing low carb milkshake ever!
- Toss all ingredients (except ice) into a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add ice cubes and pulse.
TIP: Don’t over blend the ice because it will make the shake watered down.
I like to add a bit of whipped cream and berries on top, but this is optional. Sit back and sip on your yummy keto shake!
TIP: If you want the low carb milkshake super thick, you can freeze it for about 30 minutes and then blend again.
Recipe Variations
One thing that makes this keto milkshake recipe stand out is that it’s super versatile and you can do a lot with it.
Try out some of these ideas to give you something new to taste:
- Strawberries – Either use a strawberry or two as a garnish or toss a few in the keto milkshake. So good!
- Peanut Butter – Add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter to this keto shake recipe. It’s perfect if you are looking to add a little more protein and love peanut butter flavor.
- Cinnamon – Sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon into the shake. This is especially good during the fall and winter months.
- Cocoa Powder – Put 1 or 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder on those days when you are craving a little bit of chocolate.
- Instant Coffee – If you are drinking this shake in the morning or are just craving coffee, put up to 2 teaspoons of instant coffee in the keto vanilla shake. It will taste like a drink from a fancy coffee shop. It goes well when you pair it with cocoa too.
- Avocado – Adding some avocado makes the low carb milkshake even creamier. Plus, it adds a lovely flavor to the best keto shake.
- Raspberries – You can’t go wrong adding a few raspberries to the ketogenic shake. Plus, it makes it a lovely pink color that everyone goes crazy for.

0This was simply divine! I omitted the ice cubes altogether and added slightly more whipping cream. It was delicious and a great quick breakfast on the go!
Linda Schreiber
0Omg! So delicious! Made it for a lazy night meal replacement for dinner. Will be doing this again….. Maybe tomorrow night! Thank you for a wonderful keto recipe!
Teresia
0I followed the recipe exactly but it wasn’t thick so I added 1/4 top of xanthan gum and a drop of liquid special, and some Torani sugarfree vanilla syrup. Thank you for the recipe.
Erica
0All I have are 15 ounce cans of cream of coconut. How much cream should I use in place of the 13.5 can of coconut milk?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Erica, Cream of coconut has a lot of sugar, so I don’t recommend it for keto recipes.
Roberta
0Yummy ?
SJ
0Delicious. I used just Allulose and since I didn’t have coconut milk I used the little bit of macadamia milk and unsweetened vanilla almond milk mixed together. The shake was yum!
Lesley
0I have made this twice and each time everything has curdled and there’s a huge lump at the bottom of my blender. The liquid tastes good but I could only finish the smoothie with a spoon but it looks so revolting that I can’t even attempt it
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Lesley, Did you add the ice cubes right away or did you blend the rest of the ingredients without ice?
Mary
0I have been craving a milkshake for EVER! I didn’t think about making one, till I came across the picture of this on the website. I made it so fast and it was delicious! I put some ground up sugar free choco chips to add a little crunch. Next time I will chop up some fresh strawberries. I was SO full afterward, cuz I had just eaten the broccoli cheddar soup, which was AMAZING! Headed over to leave a review for that as well.
Janine Nicolosi
0Omg! So good…thick and creamy…hint of coconut… as a registered dietitian I’m constantly crunching numbers so my calories fat and carbs calculation did not come up to yours but they were pretty darn close!
Jorey
0Yummm! I don’t love coconut so I wasn’t sure how I was gonna like it. It definitely tastes more like a coconut milkshake than a vanilla one but it’s DELICIOUS! Exactly what I needed to curb my ice cream craving. Oh also, I didn’t have enough heavy cream so I used half a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it came out amazing!
Michele
0I am confused how you came to your calorie count at 379 as 1 cup of heavy cream alone is 800 calories and 1 cup of canned of unsweetened coconut milk is 510 those alone are over 750 calories a serving what am I missing?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Michele, The nutrition info is per serving. The recipe makes 4 servings. Hope this helps!
Charly
0Hello, could i use coconut cream instead of coconut milk? How much would i use? can;t wait to try it.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Charly, Yes you can use coconut cream instead. You will still use the whole can, there won’t be any water to drain off.
Mel K
0I have a small can of coconut cream only. Will that be the same amount as is in a full can of coconut milk?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Mel, I have not tried that in this recipe.
Tara
0I was going to try one of those keto diet fad things where you have to purchase the packet because my work does not allow me to meal prep however I came across this recipe and I can do this in 5 minutes before I go to work. Absolutely fabulous!
kelly
0Better than I expected, can wait to try it with strawberries or cocoa powder.
Alicia
0Perfectly delicious. I made this instead of having the peppermint shake from a certain favorite chicken drive thru. This was no disappointment and I will make again and again, for sure! Thank you!
Denieses
0Has anyone tried freezing the coconut water in ice cube trays and using it instead of plain ice cubes? Is throwing the coconut water out a matter of “too watery” or flavor? I dislike waste & would rather have more coconut flavor instead of diluting the flavor with plain water ice cubes, if it works. Thanks, Everyone, for your comments & suggestions! Having a sweet, creamy treat helps me feel like I’m living big instead of “giving up” foods to stay healthy.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Denieses, I have not tried that but it should work fine. Your milkshake will not be quite as thick and creamy, but the recipe will still work.
Theresa
0This was delicious! Quick question…the recipe calls for 1/4 besti, which is 12tsp at 3g carbs each= 36 g carbs, yet the recipe is 4 servings and only 4g carbs. Am I missing something? I’m not sure if the allulose negates the carbs? I ended up using 2 tbs monk fruit granular sweetener at 6g carbs, because that is all I had, it was actually a little on the sweet side, but delicious. Just curious as I’m really trying to stick to 20g carbs a day.
Lucy
0So good ! I added espresso and made keto whipped cream by whipping heavy cream to stiff peaks with vanilla extract and swerve. This will be my Saturday morning treat from now on !
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Theresa, Allulose is 0 net carbs. You subtract the allulose from the carb count to get 0 net. I hope this helps!
Mari
0WoW…. loved this quick and easy Milkshake!!!
Adam LaPlant
0Was amazing! Was looking for a low carb snack for between meals. I struck gold with this one. I don’t have ice trays so, I just mixed the drink then put that in the freezer. When it had thickened I put it back in the blender and it worked out great. Sometimes I will add raspberries or other low carb fruit for a changeup. Thanks again this is a great snack/meal substitute.
Olivia
0Thanks for saying this! I’m going to try it this way, too. I want to use it as a late afternoon snack. I only do two meals a day, and this will be perfect! Hopefully, daily is okay to do.
Yamelys Arce
0Delicious!!!!
