This Keto Avocado Smoothie Recipe is full of nutritious ingredients that will fit perfectly into your low-carb lifestyle. The star is avocado, which provides good fats, plus fibre and a creamy texture that makes the smoothie naturally thick and velvety. Unlike most traditional smoothie recipes that call for bananas or high-sugar fruits to stick to the ribs, this keto version is low in carbs and high in flavor and nutrition.
The base typically consists of unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or heavy cream for more creaminess and fat. 3Flavor can be added by mixing with a handful of ingredients such as spinach, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, or sugar-free sweeteners. For more added nutrition, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even protein powder might be included.
Keto avocado smoothies are versatile; you can make them sweet by blending with berries or cocoa, or more refreshing with lime juice and mint. And each version delivers lasting energy from its combination of fats and fiber, making it a great option for breakfast to post-workout fuel, or an afternoon snack.
Thick and creamy and totally adaptable, this keto avocado smoothie is the perfect low carb breakfast or snack, you can even add protein! It’s packed with nutrients, but comes in a smooth, indulgent, drink that feels like a treat but fills you with the good stuff.
