Ingredients
To keep this strictly keto-friendly, we focus on nutrient density and healthy fats:
-
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or coconut milk for extra richness)
-
½ medium Ripe Avocado (provides that signature velvety texture)
-
1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach (packed with iron and vitamins)
-
1 scoop Vanilla Collagen Peptides or Whey Protein (ensure it is sugar-free)
-
1 tbsp Chia Seeds or Hemp Hearts (for a fiber and Omega-3 boost)
-
1-2 tsp Erythritol or Stevia (adjust to your preferred sweetness)
-
½ cup Ice Cubes
-
Optional: A squeeze of fresh lime or a few mint leaves for brightness.
Instructions
-
Layer the Liquid: Pour your almond milk into the blender first. This helps the blades move freely and prevents the dry ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
-
Add the Solids: Add the spinach, avocado, protein powder, and sweetener.
-
The Chill Factor: Drop in the ice cubes and seeds last.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant green.
-
Serve: Pour into a chilled glass. Garnish with a fresh strawberry (as seen in the photo) or a sprinkle of hemp hearts.
Quick Tip: If you prefer a “spoonable” smoothie bowl, reduce the almond milk by half! Enjoy your clean, keto-friendly energy boost.
