Low Carb Vegan Avocado Protein Smoothie Bowl

This super simple, yet filling Keto vegan recipe, will be your go-to meal. Great for breakfast or brunch, this ultra-creamy smoothie bowl made with avocados, plant-based protein powder, and coconut milk, topped with frozen berries, chopped dark chocolate, and coconut flakes. The avocado smoothie is a blank canvas for a variety of other Keto-friendly fruits and toppings. Get creative!

What kind of protein powder should I use?

Use Keto-friendly, plant-based protein powder, as protein is essential on the Keto diet. Most plant-based protein powders use pea protein powder. These are generally low carb and high in fiber, which is excellent for Keto. Use a neutral-flavored versus a colored powder, so the bright, green color of the avocado comes through.

What other toppings can I add?

Sliced kumquats, kiwis, plums, cherries, and strawberries would all be perfect for this. Small amounts of mango, pear, plums, and peaches are delicious too. Toppings that would add nice texture would be sliced almonds, cacao nibs, pistachios, and walnuts.

What other sweeteners can I use?

Lakanto maple syrup is used here, but feel free to use powdered erythritol instead (about 2-3 tbsp). Granulated erythritol will not dissolve as well, so be sure to stick with the powdered version. If you have been Keto for a while, no sweetener at all might be suitable to you as there is natural sweetness in the coconut flakes and dark chocolate that you should be able to taste. Using these types of sweeteners or none at all will keep this Paleo as well!

Avocado

5 ounce
Better Body Foods Organic Plant Protein Pea & Quinoa Powder

21 gram
Coconut Milk, Plain Or Original, Unsweetened, Fortified

¾ cup
Maple Flavored Syrup by Lakanto

2 teaspoon
Let's Do Organic Coconut Flakes by Edward & Sons

2 tbsp
90% Cocoa Supreme Dark Chocolate by Lindt Excellence

½ squares
Frozen Organic Mixed Berry Blend by Trader Joe's

¼ cup

Step 1

Half a ripe avocado with a sharp knife and remove the pit. Remove the skin, by inserting a spoon between the flesh and the skin. Add the peeled avocados to the bottom of a blender cup.
Step 2

Add the scoops of protein powder to the blender cup. Feel free to use any neutral-flavored or vanilla-flavored protein powder for this step.
Step 3

Add the unsweetened coconut milk and the syrup to sweeten the smoothie ingredients. Again, feel free to use powdered erythritol or liquid stevia here instead. You can also choose to use any Keto-friendly unsweetened milk (think almond milk, cashew milk etc.).
Step 4

Blend all the ingredients together using a stick blender until very smooth. You can use a small smoothie blender as well, but since the amount to be blended is small, stick to using a small blender so the blades can reach all the ingredients. The smoothie is on the thicker side so you can eat it with a spoon. If you want it a bit thinner, add more unsweetened coconut milk.
Step 5

Pour the smoothie into a chilled bowl. You can keep a bowl in the fridge to be sure that is it nice and chilly. This will help keep your smoothie cold and enjoyable.
Step 6

Top with berries to the one side, chopped dark chocolate on top of the berries, and the coconut flakes. Feel free to add additional syrup over the top of the smoothie for another kiss of sweetness.
