About
This smoothie is super simple to blend up in the morning. Cut one avocado, a little ginger, pour in some coconut milk and a few ice cubes. High fat avocado will help you to stay full throughout the morning as well as coconut milk. Make sure to buy high fat coconut milk in a can! The ginger adds a nice spiciness to help wake and get you ready for your day! Add a squeeze of lime juice if you won't be drinking the smoothie right away to prevent browning.
What kind of coconut milk should you use?
We have used canned coconut milk, typically used for cooking, in this low-carb smoothie recipe. The coconut milk is rich and creamy, perfect for adding fats and thickness to your Keto smoothie. You can use light coconut beverage or almond milk for a lighter smoothie.
Can you use add a sweetener to this smoothie?
You may use any low-carb sweetener you prefer. Please add your sweetener to taste, adjusting the quantity as needed. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
What if you don't mind dairy?
If you can consume dairy, then you can swap the coconut cream for heavy cream.
