HOW TO MAKE A KETO CHOCOLATE SMOOTHIE?

A keto chocolate smoothie has no banana. While bananas are often used to thicken smoothies, they also contain a lot of natural sugar not suitable for diabetics. Therefore, the trick to make the most delicious thick sugar-free chocolate smoothie is avocado. Avocado is naturally creamy, bland in flavor when combined with cocoa powder and adds the perfect thickness to keto smoothies. Plus, it helps you reach your fat intake and gives you fiber and protein to feel full for longer.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 Avocado
• 1 cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2-3 tablespoon Erythritol or 8-10 stevia drops
• 1 teaspoon hemp powder - optional see note for options
• 2/3 cup Ice Cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add all the ingredients into a blender, order doesn't matter. Simply make sure you are using ripe avocado with no black spots.
2. Blend on high speed for 45 seconds to 1 minute, stop the blender and taste your smoothie.
3. Adjust texture and sweetness if desired. If you like your smoothie sweeter, add 1 extra tablespoon of erythritol or few vanilla stevia drops. You can also add 2 or 3 ice cubes to thicken your smoothie.
4. Blend again until smooth and serve immediately.
