Eating Green Can Be Delicious
Simple to throw together on a busy morning and even easier to prep and freeze in advance, this smoothie gets its double dose of green goodness from spinach and avocado. If you’ve never used avocado in a smoothie before, you’ll love how it adds creaminess and body with far fewer carbs than a banana.
Not only is this smoothie delicious, but it’s also a fantastic way to avoid wasting greens. Spinach works great, but you can also use any greens you have on hand, like kale, dandelion greens, or even broccoli. Freeze any leftover greens and overripe avocados for future use, ensuring you always have ingredients on hand for a super cold and refreshing smoothie.
You can also add more ice and transform this into a beautiful smoothie bowl, topped with keto granola for some crunch. Zero waste, zero stress—how easy is that?
Important Ingredient Notes
- Protein Powder: Choose a protein powder you love. Personally, I prefer whey protein over pea protein for its taste.
- Spinach: Store greens in the freezer for an extra cold smoothie.
- Avocados: Haas avocados are tastier and higher in healthy fats.
- Milk: Alternate between light coconut and almond milk. If you like your smoothie thicker, you might want to add more milk. Consider adding a few drops of liquid keto sweeteners if you do, as the additional milk can dilute the sweetness.

Tips

- Milk Amount: Adjust the amount of milk based on your desired smoothie thickness and avocado size. Start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed.

- Smoothie Bowl: To make a smoothie bowl, add 1/2 cup of ice and use the minimal amount of milk.
