High-Protein Berry Smoothie

Are you following a higher protein keto diet? Then this high-protein smoothie is the perfect meal for you.

More protein from collagen and egg whites will keep hunger at bay and help you stay full for longer. If you haven't tried using raw eggs in smoothies before, it's a game changer! When blended, raw eggs get really frothy with absolutely no odd texture or flavor. And as long as you're using pasteurized eggs, they are safe to consume.

Recipe Tips

This keto smoothie is easy to make dairy-free. If you can't have diary, simply substitute the heavy whipping cream with coconut cream. Instead of collagen you can use whey protein isolate or egg white protein isolate.

Each and every one of us has different dietary needs so it's only natural that you may need to adjust the macros in this keto recipe. You can make all these adjustments and more directly in the KetoDiet App by cloning any of the recipes from my blog and customizing them 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.
