    Similar to my other recipes with berries, such as this Blackberry Cobbler and Low-Carb Dump Cake, this keto berry smoothie is packed with protein, healthy fat, and antioxidants. And all while being keto, paleo, and dairy-free!

    It's great for breakfast, a mid-day snack, or even served with coconut whipped cream for a light but refreshing dessert.

    Frequently asked questions

    I'm not dairy-free, do I have to use non-dairy milk?

    To keep the smoothie low-carb, yes, I recommend unsweetened non-dairy milk. Cows milk usually contains high amounts of sugar (12 net carbs per cup!) making it unfit for a keto-friendly diet. I recommend using unsweetened almond, cashew, or coconut milk.

    What kind of sweetener should I use?

    I like to use liquid vanilla stevia or a powdered allulose/monk fruit blend. However, since allulose and monk fruit dissolve so well, the granulated variety can also be used. I don't recommend erythritol-based blends because they don't completely dissolve and can leave an aftertaste.

    Are berries Keto?

    While berries aren't considered super low-carb, they're lower in carbs than many fruits. This means they can be consumed in small amounts (such as in this smoothie!) and still fit into a keto diet without going over your daily carb count.

    Why is there avocado in the smoothie? Does it taste like avocado?

    Not only does avocado add healthy fats, but it makes the smoothie thick and creamy with no avocado taste detected!

    I don't want to use an avocado, can I replace it?

    Yes! If you prefer to skip the avocado, you can replace it with coconut cream.

    Ingredients

    For the ingredients you'll need:

    • Frozen Berries
    • Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk (vanilla or plain)
    • Avocado Or Coconut Cream
    • Handful Of Spinach (optional)
    • Cinnamon
    • Sweetener
    • Collagen Peptides Or Unflavored Protein Powder (optional)

    Instructions

    To make the smoothie, simply place all the ingredients into the jar of a blender, placing the liquid ingredients closest to the blade.

    Blend on high until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetener and serve with whipped cream and berries, if desired.

    Top Tips

    • When picking out avocados, they should be firm with a slight give. Also, look for avocados that still have the stem attached. If the stem is missing, it's more likely the avocados have brown spots on the inside.
    • If the avocado is overripe and there are brown spots inside, don't use it! It will leave a terrible aftertaste and ruin your smoothie!
    • Berry mixes can vary a lot and some have more carbs than others, so be sure to choose one that is low in carbs. The one I use has 4.5 net carbs per ½ cup. You can replace the berry mix with frozen strawberries or frozen blueberries.
    • If using frozen blueberries, I recommend only using ⅓ cup because they are a bit higher carb than other berries.
    • While fresh berries can be used, I recommend frozen for the best texture.

    Notes

    • Even though berries aren't super low-carb they're lower in carbs than many fruits. This means they can be consumed in small amounts (such as in this smoothie!) and still fit into a keto diet without going over your daily carb count.
    • My berry mix has strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries with 4.5 net carbs per ½ cup. Berry mixes can vary a lot and some have more carbs than others. You can replace the berry mix with frozen strawberries or frozen blueberries.
    • If using frozen strawberries instead of mixed berries, the nutrition info is as follows: Calories: 89 Protein: 2 Fat: 6 Carbs: 9 Fiber: 4 Net Carbs: 5
    • If using frozen blueberries, I recommend only using ⅓ cup because they are a bit higher carb than other berries. If using ⅓ cup of blueberries instead of mixed berries, here is the nutrition info: Calories: 94 Protein: 2 Fat: 6 Carbs: 10 Fiber: 4 Net Carbs: 6
    • While fresh berries can be used, I recommend frozen for the best texture.
    • For coconut cream, place a can of full-fat canned coconut milk in the fridge overnight, then scoop out the coagulated cream. I only recommend Sprouts, Native Forest, and Thai Kitchen because other brands may not separate well or leave a funny aftertaste.
    • For the sweetener, I like to use liquid vanilla stevia or a powdered allulose/monk fruit blend. However, since allulose and monk fruit dissolve so well, you can also use a granulated allulose/monk fruit blend, xylitol, or pure allulose. I don't recommend erythritol-based blends because they don't completely dissolve and can leave an aftertaste. 
    • If using pure allulose, it's only 70% as sweet as other sweeteners so you may need to add a bit more.
    • If the avocado is overripe and there are brown spots inside, don't use it! It will leave a terrible aftertaste and ruin your smoothie!

      I think this may be one of the best tasting smoothies I have made even though it is low carb. Most low carb smoothies taste low carb, but this one does not! The avocado gives it the perfect creamy texture. Thank you for such a tasty recipe!
