Ingredients

Avocado - I chose chopped frozen avocados. You can buy these ready-made or freeze them yourself.
Coconut milk - From a can. If the cream and the liquid are separated, stir the coconut milk prior to measuring. Option to use heavy cream instead.
Unsweetened almond milk - Or any nut milk of your choice.
Spinach - Both fresh spinach leaves or frozen spinach work. This also adds extra nutrients and fibre!
Lime (or lemon) - For a zingy finish and a boost of vitamin C.
Instructions
(This section contains step by step instructions and photos that show how to make this recipe. Find the recipe card with ingredient amounts and nutritional information at the bottom of the post.)

Step 1: Put all ingredients in a high speed blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth.
The smoothie is pretty thick. You can thin it out with more almond milk if you prefer.
Top tip
You will get the creamiest results with a high speed blender. I use a Vitamix.
FAQ
Yes, avocados are keto-friendly. They contain heart-healthy fatty acids, are high in fiber and low in carbs. They also contain zero cholesterol.
The avocado makes a smoothie thick and creamy - just like a banana would. Only, avocado is so much healthier. Read more about the health benefits of avocado.
No, it isn't. It tastes fresh and zingy. If you prefer, omit the lemon or add a little powdered sweetener.
Yes. If you use fresh avocado, add frozen spinach instead of fresh or add a few ice cubes.
Toppings
Keto avocado smoothies can be topped with:
- coconut cream
- chopped avocado
- hemp hearts
- pumpkin seeds
Variations
This recipe can be the base for many flavor variations. Here are a few ideas:
- Fruity: add fresh blueberries, raspberries or strawberries.
- Nut butter: add 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter. Replace the lemon juice with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Chocolate: Instead of the lemon, use 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and ½ tablespoon powdered sweetener.
- Protein boost: add protein powder.
- The "detox pro": add 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger and turmeric.

Storage
It's always best to enjoy avocado smoothies straight away. See these tips for storage:
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Stir before drinking in case the ingredients have separated.
Freezer: Pop it into an ice cube container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you want to drink it, release the smoothie cubes into your high speed blender and process to the desired consistency.

Can't wait to try this one, how about using coconut cream, would that work as well?

Yes of course, as long as it's not too solid. Just add liquid if necessary to get it to a consistency that you like.
