📖 Recipe

I was never big on avocados. But after learning about their nutritional benefits and healthy fat, I have grown to love them. Lately, I’ve been eating one almost every day!

When I go grocery shopping, I usually pick up at least 4 or 5 avocados. Typically, I just slice them onto a green salad.

I wanted to try something a little different with them. I saw a few smoothie recipes that used an avocado as a thickener, but they were high in carbs as they also added a lot of fruit juice.

So, I came up with this keto avocado smoothie! It uses just a little lemon juice and lots of water. To offset the tartness of the lemon, I’ve also added some low carb sweetener as well. The result is absolutely delicious!

📋 Ingredients

You can use any sweetener you’d like in this awesome recipe. Liquid stevia or monkfruit is a great option if you want to stay away from erythritol and make this a low-carb paleo raspberry avocado smoothie. Sweetleaf even makes a berry-flavored stevia liquid that would really enhance the fruit flavor!

I used one whole ripe avocado in the smoothie which is perfect for two servings. I just sliced it in half, removed the pit, and removed the flesh with a spoon.

The lemon juice brings out the flavors of the raspberries and helps all the ingredients mix together really well. You can also use lime juice but it has more natural sweetness and therefore a little more carbs.

To get the best texture, use frozen raspberries, not fresh. They make a thicker smoothie without the need for ice cubes. The result is a refreshing drink that’s absolutely delicious!

Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low carb recipe.

💭 Quick tips

Make freezer smoothie packs. If you are a fan of “dump and blend” recipes, this avocado smoothie is for you. You just dump all the ingredients into a high speed blender until you get the desired consistency. You can even meal prep smoothie freezer packs for a quick breakfast option.
You can turn this into any berry smoothie you’d like. Just change up the frozen fruit used! Although I added raspberries, frozen blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries are also great options. Just make sure the change in carbs meets your keto macros.
Get a good blender! The amount of ingredients is sized just right for a Small Blender which is a perfect blender to use for all my smoothies. A Vitamix Blender is on my wish list, but my cheaper blenders are working okay for now.
Up the nutrition. You can add in almond milk or coconut milk and a vanilla protein powder to make the drink more of a meal. Chia seeds are a great way to add in fiber too!

🔪 Instructions

Your keto smoothie will have a delicious creamy texture thanks to the addition of the avocado. I’m not sure why it took me so long to make a simple smoothie out of this healthy low-carb high-fat fruit. And, yes, the avocado is a fruit!

There really isn’t much more to say about how to make it. In fact, you don’t even have to really measure the ingredients exactly. Just mix it all together, taste it, and adjust everything to your taste.

When you use frozen raspberries, you don’t need to add any ice cubes to it. The smoothie purées to the perfect silky texture every single time.

🙋 FAQs

Before we get to the recipe card at the bottom of this post, I want to answer some questions people have about keto smoothies.

Are smoothies keto-friendly?

Yes, smoothies are an excellent food for keto dieters! You just need to be careful with what you add to your smoothie. Every single fruit and vegetable has a different amount of carbs in it.

What can you use instead of avocado in a keto smoothie?

If you don’t want to use avocado, you can still enjoy a super delicious low-carb avocado smoothie. Use your favorite nut butter instead! It still has lots of healthy fats and a creamy texture. Many use frozen banana but with 24 net carbs each, that is not a good idea for keto.

Is frozen avocado good in smoothies?

Yes, frozen avocado tastes delicious in a smoothie. Store your chopped avocado in a freezer bag. Some people also store pureed or smashed avocado in a silicone ice cub tray and use a few frozen avocado cubes in their smoothies.

💛 Why you’ll love it

In the past, I’ve made an avocado chocolate pudding, but it didn’t go over that well with the kids. However, I couldn’t taste the avocado in this keto raspberry smoothie. In fact, my three year old refuses to eat avocados plain, but sipped up this fruity berry avocado smoothie without issue.

After the success of this smoothie, I’m going to look for some more ways to sneak the healthy avocado into my daughter’s diet. She does love blueberries and strawberries so I’ll try those versions next. But I could make her a sweeter smoothie by adding frozen pineapple or frozen mango since she isn’t on low-carb.

Who doesn’t love fruit in smoothie form?

I’ll be trying other avocado smoothie recipes to sneak this healthy fruit in so that the kids will eat it. I’ve already tried a green keto smoothie and a strawberry avocado smoothie.

If you enjoyed this sweet smoothie recipe, then you will love these low-carb drink ideas next. These are some of my favorites!

Iced Keto Matcha Green Tea Latte has so many amazing flavors in it that you will want to drink it every day.
Coconut Milk Strawberry Smoothie is another sweet drink that tastes refreshing and gives you a boost of healthy fats.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake is a way to enjoy a delicious dessert on the keto diet.
