Method
 

Prepare Ingredients
  1. Wash spinach thoroughly and pat dry. Peel and pit the avocado, then cut it into chunks. Measure all ingredients accurately to maintain keto macros.
Add Liquids First
  1. Pour unsweetened almond milk into the blender first. This helps prevent the blades from sticking and ensures smoother blending.
Add Soft Ingredients
  1. Add avocado, spinach, cucumber, almond butter, lemon juice, and protein powder (if using).
Add Seeds and Ice
  1. Sprinkle in chia seeds and add ice cubes if a thicker texture is desired.
Blend Until Smooth
  1. Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape the sides if necessary.
Taste and Adjust
  1. Taste the smoothie. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or ice. Add a tiny pinch of stevia if you prefer more sweetness.
Serve Immediately
  1. Pour into a chilled glass or mason jar and enjoy fresh.
