Here is a Keto friendly smoothie! I say Keto friendly because it’s not as low carb as possibe, but it’s lower carb as far as smoothies go, especially when trying to get in your greens. Enjoy!

Green Cucumber Smoothie | makes approx. two 8oz glasses | 8g Carbs per 8oz *approx

Ingredients:

1/2 Avocado

1/2 cup sliced cucumbers (fresh or frozen)

2-3 cups of Almond or Coconut Milk (depends on how thick you like your smoothies)

1-2 tbsp of Peanut Butter or other nut butter *peanut butter is higher carb than you may realize

Dash of stevia

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (plant or dairy based)

1/2 tsp of Acacia Root powder (a great source of prebiotics and fiber)

1 cup of spinach (fresh or frozen)

Optional: 1 scoop of green powder (your choice, I use Athletic Greens - this will add 1 to 2 grams of carbs to the recipe)

Add ice as desired

Instructions:

Pretty simple- put it all in the blender and blend until smooth. Quick tip: I like to store sliced cucumber and spinach mixed up in a gallon bag in the freezer. Then when I add them to my smoothie, I don’t need ice!
