    It's the perfect winter warmer or summer iced cool-down. Perfect if you are dairy-free or want to cut back on cow's milk.

    Are milkshakes keto?

    No, milkshakes are not keto because of the high volume of dairy which has 4% carbs. This "milkshake", however, is made from dairy-free milk so the carbs in the nutrition panel are incredibly low.

    Cow's milk has 4-5g per 100ml. That's up to 12.5g net carbs per (250ml) cup.

    Nutritional values from cronometer.com

    One serving is only 5.5g net carbohydrates so this thirst-quenching drink will keep you on track with the daily carb limits that you have set using the macro calculator.

    The high-fat content of this shake will keep you full for hours and hours. The turmeric, ginger and spices give it a subtle kick and depth of flavour.

    It is more nutritious than a regular sugar-laden milkshake, or that morning cup of coffee.

    It is egg free, nightshade free, nut free (depending on the milk used) and vegan. You can use any dairy substitute.

    Dairy-free milk to use

    Sugar-free and dairy-free turmeric milkshake

    I chose to make mine with coconut milk, which thickens to a delicious dreamy creamy milkshake because of the addition of the ice-cubes which helps solidify the coconut oil in the coconut cream. 

    But you could also use any milk substitute that you can tolerate, such as almond milk.

    I have also successfully made it using 50:50 coconut cream:water when I ran out of coconut milk.

    You may also use almond milk but always check for added sugars. Buy the unsweetened almond milk.

    You may wish to use oat milk or rice milk, however, these are higher in carbs and generally avoided on the keto diet.

    This keto milkshake can be enjoyed cold or heated gently to be a warm and comforting winter drink. The keto turmeric milkshake will certainly warm you up, no matter which way you choose to serve it.

    Equipment

    All you need is your favorite high-speed blender, a hand whisk or a stick blender. Just throw all the ingredients in together and blitz until smooth and creamy.

    With all sugar-free recipes, adjust the amount of your favorite sweetener you require to your personal preference and your sweet tooth.

    More dairy-free keto shakes

    if you need to be dairy-free because of intolerances, or you just want to reduce the amount of dairy you consume. These dairy-free drinks are perfect to keep you within your daily carb limit.

    Notes

    The nutrition panel will vary widely depending on which milk you decide to use and it's fat content. 
    Adding ground black pepper and fat may enhance the absorption of the active compound in turmeric, curcumin. Remember to always check with your healthcare professional if turmeric may interact with your current medication or medical condition.

      I'm a little confused about the nutrition info: it says to use non-dairy milk, yet the nutrition panel says this drink has 6.9g total carbs, which seems like a lot. Where are all the carbs coming from? I use Almond Breeze, which only has 1g carb per cup, and SweetLeaf stevia, and by my count, the recipe adds up to just 1.5g total carbs, which is great. Just want to make sure I'm not unintentionally consuming hidden carbs. 🙂 Thanks for all the great recipes!

        The nutrition panel is from The Keto Diet cookbook. It doesn't state which milk they used, but I did mention that we need to calculate our own nutrition because all the milks and brands vary so widely. I used coconut milk which is higher in fat and lower in carbs. It was superb.

          Then what you posted on nutrition is deceiving, you make your reader think they are only consuming 300 calories when in fact if they use a full can of coconut milk like you suggest they are really consuming over 600.

            ketogenetic diets are not calorie counters, they're macronutrient percentage based. chill, friend.

              I agree the nutritional info is confusing. Which ingredients is it including, and which does it not? If it includes everything but the milk, then where is the fat from the oil? Where are the carbs coming from? Also, I believe that many keto people like me are absolutely calorie counters. Calories are calories and it is very easy to go overboard on a high fat diet. Eating the right macros proportion will still make you gain weight it you are consuming more values than you burn - even if they are fat.

            Elaine- Carbs also come from the spices. All spices have carbs along with the carbs in the type of milk is used. I would say, never really use the info given as you should always calculate for yourself. She mentioned to do your own calculation and that it was based on what she used.

      I made this tonight, used unsweetened almond milk as that's all I had. I added a sprinkle of Natvia to sweeten it a little. I also added black pepper, as I heard this helps with the tumeric properties. Verdict: It was a lovely warm, silky drink. I hope it's as good for me as it tastes.

      If you're not adding freshly ground black pepper into the mix then you're not getting the bioavailability of the circumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, which kind of negates the other benefits of the drink, don't you think ?

      I highly suggest you use a turmeric "paste" (or just turmeric with added ground black pepper) with added ground black pepper to promote absorption of all of the healthful benefits of turmeric. Seems the body has trouble taking it up when eaten otherwise. Thanks for this wonderful milkshake idea, trying it out first thing this a.m.!
