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.

Nikki says
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.
★★★★★
TRWS says
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!

Tiffany says
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).
★★★★
Lauren says
This smoothie was awful. If I didn’t have a personal policy against wasting food, I would have thrown it out. I guess you really can’t make a good almond butter and cinnamon smoothie without a banana.

Kay Schmidt says
Loved it! Made a few changes. Used 3/4 C Coconut Milk and 3/4 C Almond Milk, for extra fat. Used 1t Cinnamon and 1/2 t Nutmeg. Going to try it with Cacao powder next time. Thanks!!

MOONYEAN C LEFEVRE says
I love this breakfast shake have it everyday with a slight twist…I use coconut & almond extract, 1 t of unsweetened cocoa powder and make it into an Almond Joy so I don’t miss one of my favorite candy bars.
Amy says
Does it change anything if I don’t use flax or Stevia? I wouldn’t add sweetener at all
Cheryl says
It is so yummy, and it also fills me for a long time!

Glenna says
Can you replace the almond butter with peanut butter and peanut butter extract ?
Mellissa Sevigny says
I don’t see why not Glenna!
Stacie says
Is the carb count for this recipe total carbs or net carbs?
Ian says
I rarely leave reviews but I love this shake. Tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch! I do use vanilla protein powder in it to make it slightly sweeter. I also added a tablespoon of coconut oil to increase the fat. The coconut oil had no impact on the taste either. Still delicious!
Julia in NM says
I’m new to Keto, but serving my husband this, who likes his carbs. I try to cut back on carbs for him when I can. Made this with healthy light Coconut Milk, added 1 small overripe banana and left out the peptide. Your picture appears to have whipped cream… which is dairy, but the recipe says dairy free.
★★★★★
jessie says
It probably is a coconut whipped cream… just take a can of coconut cream, open it and leave it in the fridge over night, then whip just the cream (no liquid)… you can add things like vanilla or a little stevia, but it is also great on its own. just like whipped cream!

Lidia says
This was sooo delicious! I added cocoa powder because I was really craving some chocolate. I will definitely add this to my menu. I’m new to Keto, so I was wondering if it would be ok to add a serving of MCT oil? Does the cocoa powder the throw off the macronutrients? Thanks!

angie says
is there a substitute foe collagen peptides by any chance? I’m vegetarian but this looks delicious! Thanks
Mellissa Sevigny says
You can probably just leave them out Angie!
Becky Pangburn says
I was wondering what do you mean by “nut milk”? like almond milk or coconut milk?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes.
Immado keto says
This was awesome!!!

Jacee says
Hi, I’m thinking about starting the keto diet, this shake looks like a good place to start! Yum!!! Can you tell me if there is a difference between the Keto Diet and the Keto Zone Diet by Dr Don Colbert? Has it been difficult for you to eliminate fruit? That’s a major concern for me! Thank you.
Leanna says
What is the purpose of the flax meal?
Jenuinearticle says
What the heck is a collagen peptide? I thought I’d heard everything…
Mellissa Sevigny says
collagen peptides
Jessica Malloy says
Wow. I just went down a rabbit hole of collagen peptide Google searches! Sounds like a great addition to this diet along with the diatomaceous earth. I have always had problem skin – the DE cleared it up. Amazing. Thank you, Mellissa.
Teresa Sanders says
DE is awesome stuff!! Give it to my animals to help rid fleas and a natural de-wormer.

Mellissa Sevigny says
Sorry guys, it was supposed to be 1.5 but the numbered list changed it over – I fixed it to 1 1/2 cups!
Katherine says
