1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves (or baby kale for more nutrients)
-
1/2 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
-
1-2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (adjust to taste)
-
1-2 tsp powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
-
1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a chilled shake)
-
1 scoop unflavored or vanilla whey protein powder (optional, for keto-friendly protein boost)

Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the avocado:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender. -
Add greens & cucumber:
Add the fresh spinach leaves and chopped cucumber. These give your shake a vibrant green color and a nutrient boost. -
Add liquids & flavorings:
Pour in the almond milk, lime juice, vanilla extract (if using), and sweetener. A pinch of salt enhances the flavor and balances the sweetness. -
Optional protein boost:
If you want a filling meal replacement, add 1 scoop of keto-friendly protein powder. -
Blend until smooth:
Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until creamy and smooth. The avocado will give the shake a thick, silky texture. -
Adjust consistency:
If the shake is too thick, add a little more almond milk. If you prefer it colder, add ice cubes and blend again. -
Taste & adjust:
Taste the shake and add more lime juice or sweetener if needed. Lime juice adds a refreshing zing that balances the creaminess. -
Serve immediately:
Pour into two glasses, garnish with a slice of lime or a few spinach leaves for presentation, and enjoy!
