The green smoothie is super popular, but it’s usually loaded with sugar. Here’s a healthier low carb keto smoothie made with avocado and mint.

I’m so excited to have Kim from Low Carb Maven guest post at Low Carb Yum today. She’s one of my favorite bloggers because her food photos are absolutely gorgeous and always make my mouth water.

Where I live in Southern California, it’s HOT eight months of the year. We Californians keep ourselves cool all season long with delicious smoothies. But fruit smoothies are full of sugar and not the best choice for those following a low carb diet. Enter the keto smoothie with avocado…

Avocados have been the little darlings of the low carb and Keto worlds forever! They hit the mainstream food blogging world hard a few years ago and we saw avocados in everything from brownies, puddings, ice cream and everyone’s favorite avocado toast. But avocados make great keto green smoothies, too.

Full of heart healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados have more potassium per weight than bananas with much less sugar. One ounce of avocado has .2 grams of sugar and 136 mg of potassium compared to a banana which has 3.4 g sugar and 100 mg of potassium per ounce. And, their rich buttery texture and flavor make them the perfect choice for an avocado Keto smoothie recipe.

Coconut milk is the ketogenic milk of choice with its fat busting medium chain fatty acids and sweet mild taste. To give this Keto green smoothie some interest a little lime juice, cilantro, and mint add a refreshing flavor. For another great flavor combination try the Low Carb Avocado Coconut Milk Smoothie with Ginger and Turmeric. It’s full of anti-inflammatory power.
