When you’re in a rush, this keto berry smoothie is a great base recipe for a snack or breakfast. With avocado, coconut milk and plentiful berries, it not only looks amazing but tastes out of this world!!
Its closer to a milkshake consistency than a smoothie and is super rich and creamy. You almost feel like you are cheating on your diet- especially if you add a touch of sweetener. Don’t tell your kids its good for them and they will happily sip on it!
I love avocados and have come to appreciate them in a number of different foods. Check out some of our other favorite keto recipes that call for avocado in unexpected treats:

Notes
Smoothie recipes are about as adaptable as they come. Consider all of the following optional add-ons: A cup of fresh spinach is a great way to add greens to your diet 2 tablespoons collagen powder (or a scoop of your protein powder of choice) to help add protein to your diet and keep you full longer.
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds can add fiber and give a thicker texture to your smoothie.
- 1-2 tablespoons of your nut butter of choice can also fiber, proteins, and fats, helping keep you full longer.
- 1-2 teaspoons maca powder can also offer a boost, and is a great adaptogen.
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil can also add an extra energy boost to your smoothie.
- Coffee can be a great substitute for some of the water, too, when you need a caffeine kick.
