Avocado Lime Keto Green Shake

🥑 Avocado Lime Keto Green Shake

Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for creamier texture)

• 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

1. Prepare the avocado:
   Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender.

2. Add greens & cucumber:
   Add the fresh spinach leaves and chopped cucumber. These give your shake a vibrant green color and a nutrient boost.

3. 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.

4. Optional protein boost:
   If you want a filling meal replacement, add 1 scoop of keto-friendly protein powder.

5. Blend until smooth:
   Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until creamy and smooth. The avocado will give the shake a thick, silky texture.

6. 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.

7. Taste & adjust:
   Taste the shake and add more lime juice or sweetener if needed. Lime juice adds a refreshing zing that balances the creaminess.

8. Serve immediately:
   Pour into two glasses, garnish with a slice of lime or a few spinach leaves for presentation, and enjoy!
