Best Paleo Keto Avocado Smoothie

Just like the Vietnamese avocado smoothie some of us grew up on, this cold, creamy, delicious, and slightly sweet beverage is a great paleo beverage. It makes for a great snack or breakfast full of healthy fats.

When's the best time to have this Keto smoothie?

This smoothie doesn’t have to be consumed for breakfast. Drink this avocado smoothie after a workout so the healthy fats refuel your body, as opposed to carbs. For the same reasons, this is a healthy smoothie to drink at lunchtime. You can even cut the recipe in half and enjoy a small smoothie as a Keto snack.

How to pick the perfect avocado for this recipe?

For this recipe, you can use slightly under-ripe avocados that are a little greener than normal. However, the closest you can get to a perfectly ripe avocado is ideal. Leave your avocados out at room temperature until they’re just close to feeling ripe. Then, put them in your refrigerator where they will stay the perfect texture for about 2 days. You can pull one out of the refrigerator, slice it open, and blend it into your smoothie.

What other ingredients can you add to this Keto-friendly smoothie?

You don’t want to add too much more to your smoothie. However, you can make a couple of changes to alter the taste to your preferences. If you’d like, replace the almond milk with oat milk or coconut milk. If you have carbs to spare, add a handful of blueberries to your smoothie for added antioxidants. Vanilla extract in lieu of peppermint extract can also change the flavors to your liking.
