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

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chopped kale (stems removed, loosely packed)
  • 1/2 small avocado (ripe)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton for lighter texture, or canned for extra creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup cold water (or ice for a thicker texture)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional, but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
  • 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla collagen or whey isolate (optional for protein, choose unsweetened)
  • 1–2 teaspoons keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit, to taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup, if you want it extra cold and thick)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the kale. Strip the leaves from the stems and tear into smaller pieces. If you want a smoother blend, lightly massage the kale for 15–20 seconds to soften the fibers.
  • Layer the blender right. Add liquids first (coconut milk and water), then soft ingredients (avocado, sweetener, lemon, ginger), then kale and seeds, and finally ice on top. This helps the blades catch and blend evenly.
  • Start low, then go high. Begin blending on low to pull everything down, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds until silky. Scrape the sides if needed and blend again.
  • Taste and adjust. Add a pinch more salt to pop the flavors, a splash more lemon for brightness, or a bit more sweetener if you like it sweeter. If it’s too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time.
  • Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled glass. If you’re taking it to go, use an insulated bottle to keep it cold and fresh.
