Ripe avocado
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk)
Low-carb sweetener (like erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
Ice cubes
Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: chia seeds, MCT oil, protein powder, or nut butter for added nutrition

Directions

I scoop the avocado into a blender and add the cocoa powder, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla, salt, and ice.
I blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the texture with more milk if needed.
I taste and adjust the sweetness, then pour it into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 large or 2 small servings.
It takes about 5 minutes from start to finish—perfect for a quick, healthy drink.

Variations

Sometimes I add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder to boost protein. For a thicker smoothie, I add chia seeds or use frozen avocado slices. I also like adding a tablespoon of peanut or almond butter for extra richness and flavor.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if I need to prep ahead, I store it in a covered jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or stir before drinking. I don’t recommend freezing it, as the texture can change. Keto Avocado Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

FAQs

Is this really filling enough for a meal?

Yes, with the healthy fats from avocado and optional protein or nut butter, it keeps me full for hours.

Can I use coconut milk instead of almond milk?

Absolutely. I use full-fat canned coconut milk for an even creamier and richer smoothie.

How do I make it sweeter?

I add a bit more of my preferred keto sweetener, or sometimes a few drops of vanilla-flavored stevia.

Can I make this without a blender?

It’s difficult without a blender because of the avocado, but I’ve mashed everything together with a fork and whisked it vigorously in a pinch.

Is it okay to add spinach?

Definitely. I often toss in a handful of spinach for extra nutrients—it doesn’t affect the taste, just adds more green goodness.

Conclusion

This keto avocado chocolate smoothie is one of my favorite low-carb treats. It’s creamy, satisfying, and loaded with nutrition—all while tasting like a dessert. Whether I’m starting my day or need a quick snack, it’s my go-to for clean energy and chocolate flavor.
