Is Milkshake Keto-Friendly?
Traditional milkshakes are usually not keto-friendly because they’re made with milk, sugar, and regular ice cream—all of which are high in carbs and can quickly spike blood sugar.
But here’s the good news: you can absolutely enjoy a milkshake on a keto diet with a few simple swaps. This recipe uses low-carb, high-fat ingredients to give you the same creamy, sweet, chocolatey flavor—without the sugar or carb overload.
It’s a delicious way to satisfy cravings while staying on track with your keto lifestyle.

Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Milkshake
This easy milkshake is rich, creamy, and comes together with just 5 simple keto-friendly ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Almond Milk: Use unsweetened almond milk as the base for a light, creamy texture. You can also substitute with coconut milk, macadamia milk, or any other low-carb, plant-based milk you prefer.
- Cocoa Powder: Go for a high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for a deep, rich chocolate flavor. Dutch-processed or natural cocoa both work well—choose based on your taste preference.
- Keto Chocolate Ice Cream: Either buy sugar-free chocolate ice cream or make your own using my favorite recipe.
- Sugar-free Whipped Cream: A generous dollop of whipped cream on top makes this milkshake feel like a true treat. Use store-bought sugar-free whipped cream or whip up a batch using heavy cream and sweetener.
- Sweetener: Add your favorite powdered keto sweetener to taste. Powdered erythritol, monk fruit, allulose, or a blend will dissolve smoothly and help sweeten without the carbs.
How to Make a Keto Chocolate Milkshake
This quick and creamy milkshake is ready in just minutes—and it’s every bit as satisfying as it sounds. Here’s how to make it:
Blend the Chocolate Base
In a high-speed blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk, cocoa powder, and powdered sweetener. Blend for about 20–30 seconds until everything is smooth and fully combined.
Add the Ice Cream
Scoop in the keto chocolate ice cream (or your favorite low-carb option) and blend again until the shake is thick, creamy, and frothy—about 30 seconds.
Serve and Enjoy
Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses. Top with a swirl of sugar-free whipped cream if desired. Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for an extra touch.
Sip, smile, and enjoy every chocolatey, low-carb sip.
Variations of the Chocolate Milkshake Recipe
Take your keto milkshake game to the next level with these delicious twists. Each variation adds a unique flavor or texture—perfect for keeping things exciting while staying low-carb.
- Strawberry: Replace the chocolate milk with a strawberry version and the chocolate ice cream with this keto strawberry ice cream.
- Chocolate Peanut: Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the blender for a rich, nutty blend that pairs perfectly with chocolate. A true classic combo!
- Cozy Cinnamon Blend: Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor that’s especially comforting during cooler months.
- Morning Mocha Boost: Blend in one shot of espresso for a creamy mocha shake with just the right amount of caffeine—great for mornings or a midday pick-me-up.
- Creamier Texture: Add ½ a ripe avocado for an ultra-smooth texture and a boost of healthy fats. You won’t taste it, but you’ll feel the difference.
Storing Tips
If you’re not drinking it right away, store your keto chocolate milkshake in a mason jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24–48 hours. When you’re ready to enjoy it, give it a good stir or quick shake, as the ingredients may settle slightly over time.
For the best texture and flavor, add whipped cream or any toppings just before serving—this keeps them fresh and prevents sogginess.
Can You Make This Keto Chocolate Milkshake Without a Blender?
Don’t fret if you lack a blender! You can still enjoy this delectable milkshake by using a shaker bottle. Add all the ingredients to the shaker, and vigorously shake until well combined and smooth. The result will be just as satisfying.
