Creamy Keto Avocado Smoothie
A thick, silky avocado smoothie sweetened with monk fruit and brightened with lime. High in healthy fat and fiber at only 4 grams of net carbs per glass.
Creamy, green, and barely sweet
Avocado makes the silkiest smoothie base on keto. Blended cold it turns thick and pudding-like, with enough natural fat to keep you full through a busy morning and almost no impact on your carbs.
This version keeps the flavor mild. Lime and a little monk fruit brighten the avocado without turning it into dessert, and unsweetened almond milk thins it to a drinkable texture. Add a handful of spinach if you want extra greens; you will not taste it.
Use a ripe avocado that yields to gentle pressure, since an underripe one stays fibrous and dulls the color.

Recipe FAQ
Why is my avocado smoothie bitter?
Bitterness usually comes from an underripe avocado or from blending too long, which can bring out a metallic edge. Use a ripe avocado that gives to gentle pressure, blend just until smooth, and add a touch more lime and sweetener to balance any remaining bitterness.
Will this smoothie keep me full?
It should. A whole avocado brings around 22 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber to the glass, split across two servings, which slows digestion and steadies your energy. Many people find one glass holds them from breakfast to lunch with no snack in between.
