Many of you guys know I've been trying a new program called the Faster Way to Fat Loss. You can learn more about the program here.
So far I am loving it because I'm feeling leaner, more muscular and full of energy. I have dabbled with the keto diet in the past but I find that it is not a program that makes me feel good long term. AND I don't like programs that require me to give up entire macronutrients. I have thyroid issues and the keto diet long term made me feel pretty crummy.
I am loving the Faster Way to Fat Loss is because it involves carb cycling so I am only keto for two days. The other days of the week I can eat a ton and I track my macros. It sounds complicated but I have quickly gotten the hang of it.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, I am full-on keto and this Keto Avocado Chocolate Smoothie is so satisfying. It tastes just like a chocolate milkshake - seriously!
How To Make a Keto Chocolate Smoothie...
Making a keto smoothie is fairly simple just stay away from the fruit. So often smoothies are packed with fruit and the carbs are crazy high. Add plenty of fat in the form of nut butters, coconut oil, MCT oil, etc. Use almond or coconut milk as your base and stevia to sweeten. I love the Sweetleaf stevia drops.
Essential Ingredients for a Keto Avocado Chocolate Smoothie...
- almond or coconut milk
- almond butter (or peanut or sunbutter)
- cocoa powder

I had this for breakfast this morning and I'm already craving another one! It was so good!
This is my favorite smoothie, the avocado makes it so creamy.
This smoothie recipe is a total winner! I always have almond milk, avocados, and cocoa powder on hand, so that's easy enough. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I can't wait to try this keto avocado chocolate smoothie. Sounds like it will fulfill any sweet craving while eating healthy..
I've never thought of putting avocado in a smoothy BUT after reading this I'll definitely be giving it a go! 🙂
Having for breakfast now and LOVE! I did use peanut butter instead of almond butter and vanilla flavored almond milk. My four year old is also loving it with me!!! Thank you Karen!!
Yay Liz, I'm so happy you both liked it! Miss you!
I've been experimenting with this combination and it is so thick, silky, and amazing! I do use peanut butter and a 1/4 tsp of banana extract, along with frozen avocado chunks and forego the ice! Choco-pb-banana avo-mazing!! 😋😍
Glad you like it!
I don't understand how this can be keto with 28 carbs-that is over the 20 allowable. Is this a maintenance drink only?
I understand Keto to be less than 50 net carbs per day. You could make this two servings if you are keeping your carbs lower.
Sounds yummy but calling this recipe ‘keto’ is very misleading- unless this is the only thing you eat all day. This smoothie has 28g of carbs. The keto diet restricts daily carb intake to 30-35g in order to attain ketosis.
Hi Dee, thanks for your comment. This was actually supposed to be two servings so the calculations were wrong. I have adjusted it.
I must admit that I approached the recipe skeptically. In general, I do not like many recipes for healthy sweets. I once made chocolate avocado pudding and it was hideous. This smoothie, however, is delicious, and also filling and healthy! With crushed ice, it tastes like a chocolate shake. I recommend even for the biggest gourmands.
Thanks so much for letting me know, Nicole!
Where are all the carbs coming from? The Almond butter? Because it seems like it could be adjusted to be very keto friendly
Yes, it's from the almond butter. You can put less for sure!
Can you use something else besides almond butter to bring down the carbs?
