This Keto Bulletproof Chocolate Shake is Dairy Free & Has a Secret Ingredient
Have a chocolate craving?
What if I told ya that you can make an insanely rich and creamy thick keto bulletproof chocolate shake for breakfast (or any time of the day) that’s both low carb and dairy-free?! Yep, this chocolate shake hits all those check marks, but, more importantly, it tastes sinfully delish. Plus, if you’re trying to get in your healthy fat intake, this is a yummy way to accomplish that!
When you hear the secret ingredient that makes it so creamy, don’t stop reading!
I blended this shake using half an avocado! Yep. The combination of avocado and full-fat canned coconut milk makes this milkshake creamy dreamy, filling, and energy-boosting to keep ya going throughout the day! Also, since we’re such big fans of Dave Asprey, and his popular bulletproof coffee, I added some brain power boosting MCT oil to the shake as well.
MCT (Medium Chain Triglyceride) Oil and Coconut Oil are very similar, however, MCT oil is more concentrated. For instance, coconut oil is 55% MCTs, while MCT oil is 100% of MCTs. Just be careful with MCT oil and start with a teaspoon at a time, as some people find it upsets their stomach at first.
I’m using Swerve granular as a sweetener here, and it turned out yummy. I’d encourage you to use your favorite sweetener, and add more or less according to taste. Cocoa powder can be a tad bitter, so the best way is to taste a little after blending.
Whip it up and pour it in a glass to enjoy!
This idea could not be easier! It’s simple throwing ingredients in a blender and blending them with ice cubes. In just a minute or so, you’ll end up with a perfectly chilled chocolate shake to enjoy. I love that the texture is NOT oily at all with the MCT oil, but it’s super fluffy and thick.

Don’t be alarmed by the high total carb count!
Fiber and erythritol (the main ingredient in Swerve) do not affect blood sugar in the same way that regular carbs do, so we’ve subtracted them from the total carb count. You’ll see that the net carbs are 4g, which is much lower once you remove the sugar alcohols and fiber.
Um…hello…This is so good!
I have to say I was intrigued and skeptical of how great a bulletproof chocolate milkshake would taste. This actually goes above and beyond my expectations, and I know you’ll love this, too! The taste and thick texture are super satisfying, especially if you love dark chocolate. Plus, coconut milk is so YUMMY in this shake. I can’t wait to have some of the leftovers from the remaining milk in my coffee tomorrow!

With 34 grams of carbs, can you explain how this keto?
TIA
That is the total carbs before subtracting fiber and the sugar alcohols in sweetener. So net carbs = 3.
Is this just the thick part of the coconut milk?
I’m sure you could use coconut cream – I just opened the can – it’s linked in the post – hope that helps .
I am assuming because of the coconut milk this tastes like coconut? My hubby doesn’t like coconut flavored things.
Hi Breanna! You could substitute heavy cream OR almond milk coffee creamer. Hope that helps!
Not a fan of avocado, does it overpower the drink?
Hi there! The avocado will make it creamier without adding a heavy avocado taste. Hope you enjoy it if you decide to give it a try!
I just made this and YUM! Mine turned out really thick and I had to add more milk and water but after I messed up and used a whole medium avocado but that was ok because I like thick creamy shakes. I will make this again because it doesn’t have a strong avocado flavor and it is the perfect way for me to get them into my diet without actually tasting them since I’m not a big fan. Thank you for sharing.
Oh good glad you enjoyed!
Just made this using items around the house. It was sooooo great and creamy!!! It feels like I cheated and had a chocolate frosty from Wendy’s!! I cannot say enough good things about this recipe.
I had almost everything in the recipe but I used Hazelnut Super Creamer by Kitu instead of the coconut milk and Monkfruit Sweetener with Erythritol by Lakanto. I will use less sweetener next time because I did not take the creamer sweetness into consideration. I put it in carb master and came up with 2.4 net carbs 24.8 fat.
YUM! Glad to hear how good yours turned out, Jayson! Thanks for sharing with us!
How is it low carb when it is 34 grams of carbs?
Hi Krysal! These are considered low carb, based on the net carbs. The net carbs for this are 3g per serving. Hope that helps!
Is there anything else beside avocado that I could substitute? I am very allergic to avacado.
Hi Jeannie. Darn we are sorry to hear that. We do have another great recipe you can try instead if you would like. It’s not the same but its also just as yummy and has no avocado! https://hip2keto.com/tips/keto-cauliflower-smoothie-video-recipe-review/
Is it a problem to leave out the MTC oil? I just started Keto 3 days ago and my tummy is a train wreak, so I’m not wanting to cause more issues😬
Yes, you can! It will change your nutritional info a bit, Carrie! Good luck on your journey!
Hey, quick question is it possible to make them then freeze?
Yes! That should work!
This chocolate shake is so good. I love it. Thanks for posting it.
You’re so welcome, Val! Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t have a blender. Will a food processor work?
It might if you think your food processor will crush the ice. I think it can handle all the other items.
Hi, I read that bulletproof coffee doesn’t break my fast, does this bulletproof chocolate shake break my fast?
This would break your fast, but you can have it during your eating hours!
What if you use monk fruit? And do u use the watery part of the coconut milk or thick part? Thank you
Hi Zenia! You may need to mix or blend the coconut milk. Also, be sure to check out our sweetener guide on all of the best keto sweeteners and how to use them – https://hip2keto.com/tips/low-carb-keto-sweetener-conversion-chart-recipes/
