I used to be the Smoothie Queen – I would blend one up a few times a week at least and sometimes twice a day. Then I was told that I need to have most of my vegetables cooked because of my weird allergies. There are only a few veggies I can eat raw, thankfully spinach is one of them! In addition to food allergies, I also eat a pretty Keto with a bit more protein added in. A Keto Avocado Spinach Smoothie is the perfect way to start the day, especially if you don’t have a ton of time in the morning.

A Keto Avocado Spinach Smoothie – Perfect Way to Start the Day
Serves – 2

Ingredients

• 1 cup of Baby Spinach or 2 scoops of Organic Spinach Powder
• ½ of a large Avocado
• 1 cup of Coconut Milk
• 1 Tbsp of Monk Fruit Maple Syrup
• 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• ½ cup of Ice
• 1 scoops of Keto Collagen Peptides Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1 Tsp of Chia Seeds (optional)

New to Keto? The Keto Diet: The Complete Guide to a High-Fat Diet was the first book I read on it. I LOVED IT! The science is on point and whenever I stumble, I go back and read it again to get myself back on point.

I also want to note that I don’t personally use the monk fruit maple syrup as I like mine more tart than sweet. When making this smoothie for friends though, they have asked to have it a bit more sweeter. Leave it out if you can, if not using this sweetener is Keto-approved!

Instructions

In a blender, combine the coconut milk (you can use canned or the container kind, just note that the canned gives a thicker shake), spinach, avocado, monk fruit maple syrup, lemon juice, and the protein powder.

Blend on high until smooth. If you like it a little thinner, add more ice. If you like it thick like a shake add more canned coconut milk.

Add the ice cubes and blend well. If you like it a little thinner, add more ice. If you like it thick like a shake add more canned coconut milk.

Pour it into serving glasses or into a travel tumbler if you need to drink it on the go.

Sprinkle a teaspoon of chia seeds (optional) in each glass and serve immediately. If you are just starting out on Keto hold off on the chia seeds until you are in ketosis.

Notes

Because the avocado oxidizes quickly, it is best consumed immediately. If stored, it might darken a bit, but it will still be delicious.

I also add in parsley, arugula, kale, and celery to give it a power punch. They are all low in carbs and high in vitamins. If you need it a little sweeter, add in blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries. All of these fruits are Keto-approved!
