This avocado blueberry smoothie contains only 4 simple ingredients. Dairy-free and packed with nutrients, it is a healthy breakfast or post-workout snack.
I used to drink plenty of smoothies before I started eating low carb. I'd add lots of fruit and ALWAYS a banana to thicken it. Which tasted great, but essentially I was drinking a huge glass of sugar.
The good news is that there is no need to give up fruity smoothies when you are on a keto diet. You just have to be mindful of WHICH fruit you put in and HOW MUCH.
This low carb blueberry smoothie recipe is so refreshing, creamy and naturally sweet. I love it just as much as my avocado strawberry smoothie or this avocado smoothie.
I often make this smoothie in the mornings when I want something light yet nourishing.

Ingredients
This recipe contains only simple and natural ingredients.
- Blueberries: I'm using frozen berries, which help thicken the smoothie.
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Avocado: I added ¼ small avocado. This makes the smoothie super thick and creamy. Avocado is incredibly nutrient-rich. It contains nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, plus healthy fats.
- Vanilla extract: This adds a mellow, warm flavor.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Recipe Variations
If you have a sweet tooth, add 1-2 teaspoons of powdered sweetener such as allulose, xylitol or erythritol. Or, add a few drops of stevia.
If you use fresh blueberries, add a few ice cubes to the smoothie. Or, use frozen avocado.
For a thicker smoothie, add 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter.
As an alternative to the vanilla extract, try using a squeeze of lemon or lime!
I sometimes add a handful of spinach leaves. Just be aware that this will change the colour and make it a bit greyish. If you use spinach, add it to the blender first.
Instructions
There really is only one step: Put all ingredients in a blender jug and blend until smooth!
High-speed blenders will give the smoothest, creamiest result.
Recipe FAQs
Swap out some of the almond milk with greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for a tangy twist. Adding coconut cream would make this smoothie very filling.
Another way to up your fats intake is to add a tablespoon of MCT oil!
You can get the same creamy thickness by using collagen powder or protein powder. For both powders, I'd go with 2 tablespoons.
Use strawberries, raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries - or a berry mixture.
Heavy whipping cream and cream cheese would definitely taste good in a keto blueberry smoothie. But I'll be honest with you - this would make it less of a healthy smoothie and more of a dessert.
Storage
This avocado smoothie with blueberries tastes best fresh. Here are my tips if you need to prepare it ahead:
Refrigerator: Store the smoothie 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.

Weight stalling can have many different reasons. Too much food is definitely one of them! I'm focussing on plenty of green veggies this month to make up for December 🙂
