When it comes to keto smoothies, you need the right balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. While some green smoothies are very healthy and taste great, you cannot enjoy them on the keto diet. The reason for this is because they tend to contain a lot of fruit, such as bananas, mangos, pineapple, or papaya, all of which you have to limit or avoid while on keto. Berries and other low-sugar fruits are acceptable, so you have to be selective with your green smoothie ingredients. Fortunately for you, we did the work to create a high-fat smoothie that won’t give you a blood sugar spike. Plus, it’s a great way to incorporate more greens into your daily diet. That’s something a lot of keto enthusiasts don’t do!

A pro move for this smoothie would be to peel, pit, and cube the avocado and freeze it overnight. If you plan on using avocados in your smoothies, cubing them and freezing them is a great way to prevent them from going bad. Using frozen avocado chunks can also enhances the creaminess of your smoothie, but you don’t have to freeze avocados.

In addition to the avocado, the raw almond butter and homemade almond milk help make this smoothie extra creamy. It’s not quite a milkshake, but it’s not far from it! The squeeze of fresh lemon is the perfect kiss of zest that really sets off the other flavors. We hope you love it!
