Ingredients
  

  • Ripe Avocado – 1 medium about 150 g
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk – 1 cup 240 ml
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – 2 tablespoons
  • Keto-Friendly Sweetener – 1–2 tablespoons erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia
  • Vanilla Extract – ½ teaspoon
  • Ice Cubes – ½ cup adjust for desired thickness
Optional Add-ins:
  • MCT Oil – 1 teaspoon for extra fat and energy
  • Unsweetened Protein Powder – 1 scoop
  • Chia Seeds – 1 teaspoon

Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender (essential for creamy texture)
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Knife and cutting board (for avocado)
  • 1 Spoon (to scoop avocado)
  • 1 Glass or cup for serving
  • 1 Straw (optional)

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado
  1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into your blender. Ensure the avocado is ripe for the creamiest texture.
Step 2: Add the Liquids
  1. Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk over the avocado. Add vanilla extract. If using MCT oil, add it at this step.
Step 3: Add Cocoa and Sweetener
  1. Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1–2 tablespoons of keto-friendly sweetener. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Step 4: Optional Add-ins
  1. If using protein powder or chia seeds, add them to the blender. These boost the nutritional content without affecting ketosis.
Step 5: Add Ice
  1. Add ½ cup of ice cubes to chill the smoothie and give it a thick texture.
Step 6: Blend
  1. Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Check consistency; add more almond milk if too thick or more ice if you prefer a frostier texture.
Step 7: Taste and Adjust
  1. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity as needed. You can add more cocoa for a richer chocolate flavor or more sweetener for a sweeter drink.
Step 8: Serve
  1. Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with cocoa powder, shaved dark chocolate, or a few chia seeds if desired. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
