Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake
A thick chocolate peanut butter shake made with cocoa, natural peanut butter, and cream. Rich, malty, and sugar-free at 5 grams of net carbs per serving.
Chocolate and peanut butter, blended cold
This shake tastes like the milkshake you remember, but the numbers stay in keto range. Cocoa powder and natural peanut butter carry the flavor, while heavy cream and almond milk give it that thick, spoon-coating body.
Peanut butter does add a few carbs, so measure it rather than eyeballing a big scoop. One level tablespoon per serving keeps things reasonable and still reads as rich and nutty. A sugar-free sweetener finishes it without any grit if you use a powdered blend.
Freeze a few almond milk cubes ahead of time and the shake turns extra thick without watering down.

Recipe FAQ
Can I add protein powder to this shake?
Yes. A scoop of unsweetened or low-carb chocolate protein powder blends in well and turns this into a post-workout drink. You may need to add a splash more almond milk, since protein powder thickens the shake and can make it too dense to sip.
What peanut butter should I use?
Use a natural peanut butter with just peanuts and salt on the label. Many standard brands add sugar and hydrogenated oils that raise the carb count. If you want the very lowest carbs, powdered peanut butter works too, though it tastes a little less rich.
