Fat-Burning Vanilla Smoothie (low-carb, keto, paleo)

Recipe was originally shared at Fat-Burning Vanilla Smoothie at Tasteaholics.

Smoothies are a convenient breakfast meal when you're short on time, or you just feel like having a treat for breakfast.

You don’t need to get out the frying pan to have eggs for breakfast. It’s so much faster to toss them into this thick, creamy smoothie! Combined with mascarpone cheese and a dash of coconut oil, it’s a full meal in a glass.

A few notes:

This smoothie contains dairy but you can easily make it dairy-free by replacing mascarpone with creamed coconut milk.
If you use coconut oil, it’s important to make this using a blender to avoid leaving bits of coconut oil in your smoothie. Unlike MCT oil, coconut oil is liquid only above 24 °C/ 75 °F.
If you don’t eat eggs, you can still enjoy this smoothie. Use 1 tablespoon (8 g/0.3 oz) of ground chia seeds or ¹/₄ cup (25 g/0.9 oz) whey protein powder in place of the 2 egg yolks.
Don't waste the egg whites. Use them to make a batch of Keto Yeast Bread!

Step-by-step

In a blender, combine the egg yolks, mascarpone or creamed coconut milk, water, ice, MCT or coconut oil, vanilla, and erythritol, Swerve, or stevia. Pulse until smooth.
Top with whipped cream or coconut milk (if using).

this sounds yummy....
Does it fill you up for a long time??
1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor19 September 2017
  It should fill you up until the next meal but you may want to add a tablespoon or two of collagen powder just to add some protein (that will help you stay full for longer) 😊

  Don't trust mfp, they use crowdsourced (user-generated), database that is not verified. I only use accurate, verified databases such as the USDA.

1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor8 March 2017

1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor5 March 2017
