Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 medium avocado (pitted and peeled)
- 1 scoop low-carb vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia or erythritol (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure your blender is clean and ready. Measure out the almond milk, MCT oil, and chia seeds. Peel the avocado and remove the pit. If you are using this for meal prep, place the avocado, spinach, and chia seeds into a small freezer bag for later use.
- Place the liquid ingredients into the blender first to prevent the powder from sticking to the bottom. Add the spinach, avocado, protein powder, and ice. Turn the blender on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and the spinach is fully pulverized.
- Pour the thick, creamy smoothie into a tall glass. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, add a splash more almond milk and pulse briefly. Garnish with a few extra chia seeds or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy immediately while cold for the best texture.
