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
- Add all the ingredients to your blender.
- Blend till it is smooth and creamy.
- 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.
👩🍳 Frequently asked questions
Yes! Avocados are rich in healthy fats and one medium avocado contains just 4 net carbs. They are also very rich in fiber, which makes you full very easily. They're great in a creamy avocado smoothie but can be used in many different ways.
Avocados are one of those fruits that can be quite frustrating to store, considering how they spoil easily. Good thing is, for this smoothie, the avocados don't need to be fresh; you can totally freeze them!
And a bonus point is you won't need as much ice since the avocados will be frozen. And freezing them does not affect the texture or taste negatively. Your smoothie will still turn out rich and creamy!
To freeze avocados, slice them in half, peel them, and remove the pit. Mash the avocados with a fork and squeeze in a little lemon or lime - this prevents them from turning brown. Store in a resealable bag and freeze.
Alternatively, pour the avocado puree into ice cube trays, and once frozen, pop them out and place them in a resealable freezer bag. Make sure you save just one portion per bag, so you only take out what you need.
