Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 avocado, ripe, peeled, pitted
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for an added creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp almond butter (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1 ice cubes
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Low-carb sweetener, to taste(stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)

Equipment

  • High-powered blender (Vitamix,Ninja, Nutri Bullet, and so forth)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula for scraping sides
  • Tall glass (for smoothie) or masonjar

Method
 

  1. Half avocado and remove pit and scoop flesh. Measure nut butter and seeds.
  2. Start with liquid (almond or coconut milk) to allow blades to work freely. Toss in the avocado, nut butter, chia, vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener and ice
  3. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds or until creamy. Stop halfway to scrape sides
  4. Sweeten with more sweetener if desired or thin with milk if it is too thick
  5. Pour into a glass and sprinkle more cinnamon or chia on top

Notes

To boost the protein content, you can throw in 1 scoop of keto-friendly vanilla protein powder.
Freeze avocado cubes in advance for creamier smoothies.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours (shake before drinking).
This smoothie is truly hearty and satisfying (and blood-sugar-taming) — totally appropriate for a breakfast on-the-go.
