Okay guys, who else is looking for a way to beat the summer heat? It has been so hot outside! It’s no wonder I can’t stop eating the 4-ingredient low carb ice cream and 3-ingredient raspberry ice cream that I shared with you in the last couple weeks. As much as I love them, we all need other refreshing options – beyond ice cream, that is! – for breakfast or a quick snack. That’s where my 4-ingredient low carb strawberry smoothie comes in!
Truth be told, I’m not really a “smoothie person”. Don’t get me wrong – many of them are absolutely delicious. It’s just that they are typically filled with sugar and easy to over-indulge on. Even the ones with no added sugar frequently have more sugar-y fruit than I’m used to. More often than not, I much prefer to eat my calories, versus drink them.
All that being said, when it gets super hot in the summertime, few things can beat an ice cold low carb strawberry smoothie!
This low carb strawberry smoothie recipe doesn’t get any easier. That’s what everyone wants during the summer months, right? And, an easy smoothie breakfast is in demand anytime of year.
With just four (common and healthy) ingredients, you can be sipping this keto smoothie by the pool in two minutes flat! Well, that is if you have a pool. (I don’t! Wouldn’t that be nice?)
Otherwise, just pour it into an insulated cup as you head out the door to the nearest pool. Or, if you’re like me and getting out of the house with two kids is way too much of a hassle, just enjoy it while you soak up some rays out on the deck.
You’ll never guess from the taste that this sugar-free smoothie has a whole avocado hidden in it. This actually provides a delicious creaminess, like a milkshake. Meanwhile, it’s still low carb, paleo, and dairy-free.
You can use any sweetener you like here. I like erythritol, but stevia is another wonderful, natural sugar-free option. Use whatever you have, and adjust to taste. You can even omit sweetener altogether if you don’t want it very sweet, and depending on how sweet your strawberries are. I do have to say, a low carb strawberry smoothie is even better with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream) on top – and a fresh strawberry for garnish, of course!

I’d like to enter this and vote for you, but when I click on the link I get a 404 error code saying “The Link You Clicked On Seems To Be Broken.” Can you help me out?
Maya | Wholesome Yum says
Hi Carol, Thank you for telling me! The link is fixed now.
Jodi says
Can anything sub for the avocado?
Maya | Wholesome Yum says
Hi Jodi, There isn’t a good substitute in this recipe, but you can’t really taste the avocado in it. You could try increasing the almond milk and reducing the avocado amount, or replace some of the avocado with some coconut cream.
momof1teenag says
Can I use half or a whole banana as the sweetener? Would it still be kinda low carb?
Maya | Wholesome Yum says
Yes, you can, though I wouldn’t consider it low carb at that point. It’s up to you to decide what you’re comfortable with. A medium banana has 27g total carbs (24g net carbs), so adding it would add 5.4g total carbs or 4.8g net carbs per serving, bringing the total to 17.4g total carbs or 11.8g net carbs per serving.
