This super luxe Keto Cinnamon Almond Butter Breakfast Shake is the stuff of your low carb breakfast smoothie dreams! I can’t thank Matt and Megha from KetoConnect enough for submitting it as this week’s IBIH guest post! The Hungry dudes and I will be making this keto breakfast shake over and over again and I’m guessing you guys will too!
Hello all, we are Matt and Megha from KetoConnect! When Mellissa from I Breathe I’m Hungry reached out to us asking if we wanted to do a guest post for IBIH, we just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share a delicious Keto recipe of ours with you. We are big proponents of finding your own keto and really just doing what works best for you and your body. That includes experimenting with different foods, different workouts and not comparing yourselves to anyone but your former self!
Since we are either on the go or working late hours most days, when creating this recipe we wanted it to be something special, something unseen on our blog, and a good option for those also working late hours or needing something on the go.
With that in mind, we created this decadent, filling Keto Cinnamon Almond Butter Breakfast Shake.
It is guaranteed to keep you full and satisfied for whatever the day has in store for you!
This was originally supposed to be a Keto smoothie recipe, but what Matt and I found most challenging was achieving the consistency of a smoothie without having to add additional, and in our opinion unnecessary, ingredients. So, we called a bit of an audible and opted to go the route of a Keto breakfast shake!
By doing this, we could keep the shake recipe simple and easy to make at home without sacrificing any of the incredible taste. Never be afraid to call your own audibles in the kitchen, because the whole fun in cooking is experimenting and coming up with new recipes!
We do our best to keep our Keto recipes simple and easily substitutable so you can always make them with whatever you have at home. And, although we use almond butter and almond extract in this recipe to give it a rich, nutty flavor – we think swapping it out for some peanut butter and vanilla extract would taste just as great.
The best part about Keto shakes and smoothies in our opinion is that you’ll always end up with a delicious result when you combine separately delicious ingredients!
Honestly, this Keto cinnamon almond breakfast shake can be made and consumed for any meal of the day. You might even find us finishing off our dinner with this low carb shake for a sweet, nutritious Keto dessert!
If you find yourself too busy to stop and cook yourself a meal or are tired of the usual eggs and bacon for breakfast give this Keto Cinnamon Almond Butter Breakfast Shake a try – we promise you won’t regret it!

Tasty shake. I also swapped out peanut butter for almond butter (because I’m out of it). I added the recommended collagen peptides and used unsweetened vanilla almond milk (Malk brand from Whole Foods in fantastic) so I didn’t need the vanilla extract. I don’t have liquid stevia drops so I substituted Lankanto monkfruit sweetener with erythritol. I was worried the cinnamon would be overwhelming but it wasn’t. I am looking forward to trying this with almond butter and almond extract too.

Yummy! I added about 1/2 cup of yogurt to make more filling. Delicious!

Nadine says
Delicious! I used peanut butter instead of almond butter and vanilla extract instead of almond extract. I will try this again with almond extract, but I truly love the peanut butter taste.

Mostly pretty good! I made two changes. I felt like it was too much liquid so cut back to 11/4 cup almond milk and swapped out monk fruit drops for the Stevia drops. Pretty tasty and very filling!

Threw in some cardomom and mace (cloves would work too I’m sure), and it’s a bit like a chai latte (oh man do I miss those).
