Get ready to enjoy a delicious drink packed with healthy fats that help keep you full and fueled. Whether it’s breakfast or a snack, this smoothie makes it easy to stick to your healthy habits.

Preparing The Ingredients

Start with one ripe avocado. It should feel soft but not mushy when you gently squeeze it. Avocados provide a creamy texture and rich taste. Using ripe ones is key to getting that smooth blend.

Next, grab some spinach. Fresh spinach works best. Wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt. Spinach adds a good dose of nutrients without overpowering the avocado flavor. If you have baby spinach, it’s even better because it’s tender.

Go for unsweetened almond milk as your liquid base. It keeps the smoothie creamy and low in carbs. You’ll need about a cup. Shake the carton before pouring to mix it well.

Measure a tablespoon of chia seeds. These will boost the fiber content and help thicken the smoothie. If you’re not a fan of the texture, you can grind them before adding.

You’ll also want a scoop of your favorite vegan keto protein powder. This step is optional, but it can help meet your protein needs. Choose one with minimal carbs and no added sugars.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. This brings a hint of sweetness and rounds out the flavors. Make sure it’s pure vanilla for the best taste.

Finally, ice cubes will make your smoothie refreshing. Use about a handful, especially if you like a chilled drink. Adjust based on your preference for thickness.

Variations To Try

• Try adding a handful of spinach to your smoothie for more greens. It won’t mess up the taste and adds extra nutrients.
• If you like a touch of sweetness, berries like blueberries or strawberries mix well with avocado. They keep it fruity without using sugar.
• Want some crunch? Blend a spoonful of flaxseeds or chia seeds. They give a nutty flavor along with healthy fats.
• Replace water or almond milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist. It makes the smoothie creamy and rich.
• For a bit of spice, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the mix. These can add warmth and depth to the flavor.
• If you prefer a more refreshing taste, squeeze some lime juice or add mint leaves. It gives a zesty kick and cool aroma.

Storage Tips

• To keep your vegan keto avocado smoothie fresh, use an airtight container. These containers help lock in the flavor and prevent the smoothie from absorbing fridge odors.
• Refrigerate your smoothie if you plan to drink it within 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before sipping, as ingredients might settle.
• If you want to store it for longer, freeze it. Use a freezer-safe container with a little space at the top, as the smoothie will expand when frozen.
• Always thaw in the fridge when you’re ready to enjoy, preserving both taste and texture.
