Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or full-fat coconut milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1/2 small ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup ice (more for a thicker texture)
  • 1–2 teaspoons blue spirulina powder (adjust for color and taste)
  • 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla collagen peptides or whey isolate (optional, for protein)
  • 1–2 teaspoons MCT oil or coconut oil (optional, for extra fats)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (brightens flavor)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Keto-friendly sweetener to taste (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol blend)
  • Optional add-ins: a few fresh mint leaves, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, or 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut

Method
 

  1. Prep your blender. Add almond or coconut milk first. Liquids at the bottom help the blades catch everything.
  2. Add the fats and flavor. Scoop in avocado, MCT or coconut oil, vanilla, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Boost the body. Add your protein powder if using. It thickens the smoothie and improves satiety.
  4. Color it blue. Sprinkle in blue spirulina. Start with 1 teaspoon, then add more if you want a deeper shade.
  5. Sweeten wisely. Add your preferred keto sweetener. Begin with a small amount and adjust after blending.
  6. Chill and blend. Add the ice on top. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds, until creamy and smooth.
  7. Taste and tweak. Need more tang? Add lemon. Thicker? Add ice or a little avocado. Sweeter? A touch more sweetener.
  8. Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled glass. Top with shredded coconut or chia seeds if you like a little crunch.
