Spiced berries were how my grandmother used to stretch a small pint through a whole week. The keto spiced berry smoothie keeps that idea with cinnamon, clove, and frozen mixed berries for a warming low-carb sip. Warm the spices in a dry pan briefly to wake up their aroma before they hit the blender.
