Notes
If you choose a keto-friendly vanilla protein powder: Omit the vanilla and sweetener, then only add as needed. Also, protein powders vary in taste. Be sure to use one that you like!
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 in carbs 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 the sweetener: I like to use a powdered allulose/monk fruit blend because it dissolves beautifully and tastes just like sugar! 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. If using pure allulose, you will need to add a little bit extra as it's not quite as sweet. Liquid vanilla stevia can also be used but can be an acquired taste.
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!
