This keto avocado smoothie is just what you need on a ketogenic diet: it’s filling, nutritious, and oh-so delicious!

It’s the perfect breakfast smoothie because it won’t spike your blood sugar and is an excellent source of healthy fats. This simple recipe is also a great meal replacement for those busy days when you’re on the go!

This dairy-free avocado smoothie is a fantastic way to incorporate avocado into your diet if you struggle with its texture. It has a smooth velvety texture that goes down pretty easily. The best part is that it’s a great basic smoothie, so you can adapt it however you’d like!

You can use a high-speed blender or a small personal blender to make this low carb avocado smoothie recipe. I like to use a small blender, like a nutribullet because I can make just one serving, and there is less cleanup involved.

🧾 Ingredients Used

• Avocado: I use one medium ripe avocado for this peanut butter avocado smoothie. If you freeze your avocado, you can use fewer ice cubes for a thicker smoothie.
• Monk fruit sweetener: This is my low-carb sweetener of choice but you can use whichever one you prefer. Other great alternatives are allulose, swerve or erythritol. Use one or two tablespoons depending on how sweet you want it to be.
• Almond milk: I use unsweetened almond milk as a liquid base for this delicious smoothie.
• Peanut butter: You only need a tablespoon for this peanut butter smoothie. For best results, use natural peanut butter with no added sugars.
• A handful of ice. You can leave this out or add more or less, according to your preference.
• Vanilla extract

🔪 How To Make This Recipe

1. Add all the ingredients to your blender.
2. Blend till it is smooth and creamy.
3. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more almond milk. If too thin, add some more crushed ice.

🥫 Storing and Reheating

It tastes so much better when you make this green smoothie fresh instead of storing it in the fridge. But if you must refrigerate it for any reason, it is best consumed within 24 hours.

Optional Add-ins

This avocado smoothie is rich and thick as it is, but you can add more ingredients to change it up a bit. Some of my favorites are:

• Fresh spinach leaves or any greens
• Cacao powder (for the cocoa lovers)
• Cinnamon
• Protein powder
• Almond butter
• Chia seeds
• Flax seeds

💭 Tips and Variations

• Substitute the almond milk with macadamia nut milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk. If using coconut milk, skip the thick full fat coconut milk sold in cans and use the thinner milk. The avocado and ice make the smoothie really thick, so you need a more watery liquid to help thin it out.
• Replace the peanut butter with almond butter or leave it out for a nut-free option.
• If using a small personal blender, place all the ingredients first without the milk. Then pour in the milk last and blend. Since the blender will be inverted, the liquid helps the blade crush the ice more effectively.
• For more protein, add a scoop of a low carb whey protein. If it’s sweetened, you can skip the low carb sweetener.

🍽️ What can I eat this recipe with?

This is my favorite keto smoothie recipe because it’s such a great neutral base. You can enjoy it as a healthy breakfast, a snack, or doctor it with your favorite add-ins to make it a sweet treat with less sugar.
