Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Place the almond milk, cream cheese, raspberries, vanilla extract, and stevia drops into a blender and blend until mixed.
- Add the protein powder, cocoa powder, cream (if using) and ice. Blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy.
Protein powder
You can use vanilla flavored whey protein powder instead of unflavored whey, stevia and vanilla extract. Ensure the protein powder uses natural flavoring and Diet Doctor approved sweeteners.
Tip
For a more filling smoothie, add one tablespoon of coconut oil or any other healthful oil. You may also substitute the whipping cream for ¼ cup Greek yogurt. If so, add a little water for a more liquid consistency.

It was a typo and it has been fixed to reflect 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. Thank you for letting us know!
This was nice, but the raspberry seed fell to the bottom resulting in a last mouthful full of pips!!
Most of the smoothies here do not have the protein powder or the sweetener if that's what you prefer. You could also omit them from this recipe. You may prefer these instead:

Thanks
That question has to do with the Tip listed below the recipe:
"Tip!

I omitted the whey powder and replaced it with 1tblsp. Chia seeds, 1 tblsp hemp seeds, 1 tblsp ground flax seed. I need this fibre content to prevent constipation. Would you please let me know the nutrition breakdown. I have been using my own made up recipe of a chocolate chia pudding but am terrible at figuring out nutrition data. This one is preferable as it is from DD with slight modification.
Thank you so much.

You can use the nutrition labels on the brands of ingredients you used to determine the carbs, protein and fat in the ingredients you used.
I follow Dr Fung and in principle agree with the comment above (#85 by Lana) but occasionally I personally find bending those rules very slightly has helped me to stay on track. What works for some really doesn’t work for others so it’s a bit of trial and error to find your own tolerance levels. Another great recipe Diet Doctor. Thank you!
Hi, Sarah! We haven't tried it that way, but I imagine it would work! I would probably try reducing the amount of cocoa powder slightly.
