Keto Spinach Blueberry Smoothie - Creamy, Fresh, and Low-Carb

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

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh spinach (1 packed cup)
  • Frozen blueberries (1/4 cup; wild blueberries are great)
  • Avocado (1/4 to 1/2 medium, ripe)
  • Unsweetened coconut milk (1 cup; carton or canned diluted to taste)
  • Unsweetened almond milk (optional, to thin)
  • Chia seeds (1 teaspoon, optional for fiber)
  • MCT oil or coconut oil (1 teaspoon, optional for extra fats)
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Cinnamon (a pinch, optional)
  • Ice cubes (a handful, if using fresh blueberries)
  • Keto-friendly sweetener (to taste; stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol blend)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the produce: Rinse the spinach and pat it dry. If using fresh blueberries, rinse and drain well. Scoop the avocado and discard the pit and skin.
  • Add liquids first: Pour the unsweetened coconut milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch the greens and blend smoothly.
  • Layer the greens: Add the spinach on top of the milk. The liquid at the bottom helps pull the leaves down for a silky texture.
  • Add fruit and fats: Toss in the blueberries and avocado. Add MCT oil or coconut oil if you’re using it.
  • Flavor boosters: Add vanilla, a pinch of cinnamon, and a small pinch of sea salt. These tiny touches make flavors pop.
  • Sweeten gently: Add a small amount of your preferred keto sweetener. You can adjust after blending.
  • Blend until creamy: Start low, then increase speed for 30–45 seconds until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  • Taste and adjust: Check sweetness and thickness. Add more sweetener, ice, or milk as needed. Aim for a cold, creamy, spoon-coating texture.
  • Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass. Sprinkle a few chia seeds on top if you like a gentle crunch.
