Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (packed; baby spinach blends best)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado (adds creaminess and healthy fats)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber (peeled if you prefer a milder taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for fiber and omega-3s)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (brightens the flavor)
  • 4–6 fresh mint leaves (optional, but refreshing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for a smoother finish)
  • Pinch of sea salt (balances flavor)
  • Ice cubes (4–6, for thickness and chill)
  • Low-carb sweetener to taste (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol; optional)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla collagen peptides or keto-friendly protein powder; 1 tablespoon MCT oil for extra energy

Instructions
 

  • Prep your produce. Rinse the spinach and mint. Peel and chop the cucumber if needed. Scoop the avocado.
  • Start with liquids. Add almond or coconut milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly.
  • Add the greens and creamy base. Toss in spinach, avocado, and cucumber.
  • Flavor and boost. Add lemon juice, mint, vanilla, sea salt, and any optional protein or collagen. Sprinkle in chia seeds.
  • Sweeten smartly. If using a low-carb sweetener, start small—about 1/4 teaspoon—and adjust later.
  • Blend with ice. Add 4–6 ice cubes. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and frothy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
  • Taste and tweak. Adjust lemon, mint, or sweetness to your liking. A pinch more salt can surprisingly boost flavor.
  • Serve right away. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy while it’s fresh and cold.
