This strawberry avocado smoothie recipe with almond milk is creamy, satisfying, nourishing and just plain delicious! And, it only has 4 ingredients. Now, I know what you’re thinking here. You love the idea of a keto smoothie for breakfast, but would a strawberry avocado smoothie be good?
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 avocado smoothie!
I’m here to tell you, you’ve got to try it! You’re welcome. This avocado smoothie recipe is so simple and tasty that it’s about to become your go-to keto smoothie recipe! It’s so easy, you’re not going to believe it.
When you want something cool and refreshing, 4-ingredient low carb ice cream is a no-brainer. And 3-ingredient raspberry ice cream? Oh, yeah, mmm mmm good.
But now? Now it’s time to add this Strawberry Avocado Smoothie to the top of your list, friends.
Choosing Berries For A Keto Smoothie
First things first. How do you go about choosing berries for a keto smoothie? Raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries are all great options for your keto smoothie recipes.
If you want more details on ingredients for your keto diet smoothie (or any other part of your keto lifestyle!), you can check out this detailed list of low carb keto foods. You’ll get specific carb counts and details on other fruits that are low carb and totally great to try in your other keto breakfast smoothies. You can even print it out or save it to your phone so it’s always handy (how cool is that?).
As I said, there are a few low carb options for a keto smoothie. But for this particular keto smoothie with almond milk, you want to use strawberries.
Strawberries are not only delicious, but they are sweeter than other berries so you will use less sweetener. Plus, a strawberry avocado smoothie just works. You’ll see.
The Best Avocado Smoothie Recipe
There are many avocado smoothie recipes out there, but I’m partial to this one. It’s creamy, refreshing, a powerhouse of nutrition, incredibly easy to make, and yummy. Every avocado smoothie recipe has four basic building blocks: avocado, milk, berries, and sweetener.
Avocado
Avocados are low carb and nutrient dense. They are rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals (particularly B vitamins!), and both soluble and insoluble fiber.
In addition to all of the health benefits of this avocado smoothie recipe, the avocado adds a perfect creamy texture that makes it almost like a dessert instead of a keto fruit smoothie. And who doesn’t love dessert for breakfast?
Choosing a keto avocado smoothie sets you up for a great day of fat-burning and provides plenty of energizing nutrition. And this avocado smoothie recipe is so easy and delicious, you can just toss it together and get on with your amazing day.
Milk
Every keto smoothie needs liquid, and ideally some kind of milk for that creamy flavor and texture that makes it even more delish.
If you want to make your strawberry avocado smoothie with almond milk, you could make it at home or use the store bought brand I linked on the recipe card below. Here’s my homemade version.
Berries
Now we’re getting to the fun part! It’s time to add some berries to your avocado almond milk smoothie. This is for flavor and sweetness.
Strawberries are among the lowest carb fruit options available, and by far the sweetest on your keto-friendly food list. If you’re going to have an avocado fruit smoothie, strawberries are both a logical and enjoyable choice.
Of course, you could use blueberries or raspberries if you want something more tart, have a sensitivity to strawberries, or just want to shake up your avocado smoothie recipe.
Sweetener
You can use any sweetener you like here, but I highly recommend a powdered sweetener for smooth texture.
Personally, I prefer powdered allulose because it incorporates into the strawberry smoothie so well, tastes like sugar, and doesn’t get gritty. However, erythritol or monk fruit will also work.
Use whatever you have, and adjust it to your taste. You can even omit sweetener altogether if you don’t want it very sweet, and depending on how sweet your strawberries are. A keto strawberry smoothie is already equipped to be sweetly delicious, so it’s all up to you here!
Ingredient Options For A Keto Smoothie
This strawberry avocado smoothie is so good, but did you realize you can customize your keto smoothie?
If you’re not dairy-free or paleo, you can swap out half the almond milk for heavy cream. If you are dairy-free and/or paleo, then use coconut cream. This just takes rich and creamy to a whole new level. Oh yes, think classic milkshake here! And yet… it’s a keto smoothie that helps keep you healthy and slim.
For some added flavor, you can use unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of unflavored.
And you can make it as sweet as you like, too. If you’re keto and paleo, but not worried about carbs, then coconut sugar is a flavorful option to consider. While you don’t have to add sweetener, it’s definitely recommended because you’re using unsweetened almond milk and avocado which aren’t naturally sweet. Check out this natural low carb sweeteners guide & conversion chart to pick your preference for this keto smoothie with avocado.
I do have to say, a keto 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!
How To Make an Avocado Smoothie with Almond Milk
By now you’re convinced that a keto smoothie with avocado is the perfect choice. So how do you make this absolutely delicious strawberry avocado smoothie? It’s so easy (and yummy!), you’re going to want to run right to your kitchen to make one!
Are you ready?
Take your frozen strawberries, your milk of choice, your peeled and pitted avocado, and your sweetener, and drop them into your blender. And blend.
BAM! So easy, right?
Now you’ll be able to have a keto smoothie every day if you want, and know that you’re eating wholesome, yummy foods. In just minutes. Go enjoy your strawberry avocado smoothie… but remember that this avocado smoothie recipe is so versatile that you can always try with other low carb fruits, too!

Can this be made and kept for three or four hours before eating? I need to make a smoothie or something soft for my husband to take with him to eat after a dental procedure.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lynda, Yes that should be fine. Put it in a cup that will keep it nice and cold like a double walled stainless steel mug.
Tina
The video shows 2 avocados but the recipe shows only one. Which is it?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Tina, The written recipe is correct, just one avocado. Enjoy!
Lynnda
hello — 2nd week of keto. so far so good. not much cravings. I was wondering if i can use unsweetened coconut milk in place of almond milk? also, I live in Ecuador — we have straweberries, but I love mora / black raspberries.. very tart. Are they ok to use? thanks . Lynnda
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lynnda, Unsweetened coconut milk is a fine substitution for almond milk. Black raspberries appear to be about the same sweetness as red raspberries, so I think they are probably fine in moderation.
Tammy Harrison
I haven’t tried this yet. I just want to make a single serving using frozen fruit. Do you have recipes that are for just a single serving and using frozen fruit? Can’t always get fresh. I’m on a low carb keto diet and prefer smoothies that are light.
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Tammy, above the video, there is a space to edit the serving size and automatically recalculate the ingredients. This one also works for fresh or frozen fruit!
Kelley Davis
I used the half heavy cream and mixed brrries. It was delicious. Like a really creamy soft serve ice cream. I will definitly make it again.
Mac
Will this keep overnight in the fridge? Running a blender at 5am = grumpy family members 🙂
Wholesome Yum
Hi Mac, it’s not ideal but I think that would work. 🙂
Johnna
YummOH! Only thing I adjusted was adding an additional 1/2 cup almond milk as mine was SUPER thick. Family loved and had no idea there was avocado in it!
Yvonne
How do I divide ingredients for a SINGLE Smoothies at a time?
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Yvonne, you can change the serving size on the recipe card to 1 and it will give you the measurements you need to make one smoothie at a time.
Monique Botha
YUM!! Added some Kite Hill unsweetened almond milk yogurt for creaminess, the other half of the avocado, a dash of heavy cream and a bit of Choc Zero maple syrup.
Ryan
Hi I’m brand new to Keto and was looking for some smoothie recipes to sub in for lunch or breakfast and this looks awesome!! I was just wondering how much is .2 of an avocado?? Thank you!!!
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Ryan, 0.2 of an avocado would be 1/5 of the avocado. I hope you love this recipe.
Dani
Can someone tell me what 0.4 of an avocado is? My brain is not working.
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Dani! 0.4 of an avocado would be two-fifths of an avocado. However, the recipe calls for 1 large avocado! 😉
Samantha
Yum! Trying to sneak in avocado for the kids and this was a hit!
Changed a couple of things because that’s what I had. Used frozen raspberries. And Skinny Syrup raspberry flavor instead of sweetener. Plus 1/2T cocoa powder.
Glenn myatt
Why so many (7) net carbs per cup ?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Glenn, The carbs come mostly from the strawberries.
Dee
Simply good
Jessa
This was amazing! Made it for the whole family and they all loved it. I used the half almond milk and half heavy cream. It’s so creamy and delicious. I want to try other flavors, like raspberry or blackberries!
Do you think this recipe would work well for a chocolate peanut butter smoothie? I’m thinking to sub the strawberries for cocoa powder and peanut butter and then make ice cubes out of the milk mixture to get that frozen smoothie texture.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jessa, I’m so glad you liked this. I have a chocolate peanut butter smoothie recipe here! If you want it to be a more frozen texture, you can just add ice cubes to that.
Jessa
Oh my gosh, that looks so delicious! THANK YOU!
Fran
I cannot believe how good this taste. I just started the Keto and I drink this on my way to work (1 hour commute). It is very filling and satisfying. I can’t get behind the almond milk yet. I am a dairy girl, love my full dairy. So I swapped out the almond milk for water, ice, and heavy cream. I don’t add the sweetener to the whole batch I wait and sweeten my single serving. YUMMY
Sandi M
Did the mix of coconut cream and almond milk. This is amazing!
Candice Stansell
I love making this its so easy and good; I used coconut sugar for mine.
Veronica
Why did you use 1 1b of strawberries?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Veronica, The strawberries provide flavor and sweetness.
Bryan Pender
Amazing recipe, added vanilla protein powder, tasted like ice cream.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Bryan! Love that idea!
Ellen
Thanks so easy and tasted great! I’ve been missing fruit on my Keto diet! Also did as suggested swapped little more heavy cream for some almond milk. I didn’t think I’d need to add sugar as I don’t have a sweet tooth , but did in end add a very small amount of Swerve .
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Eleen! Have a great day!
Leah
This smoothie was perfect for me as a beginner on keto! I’ve never even tried avocado in a smoothie before and it was lovely. Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Leah! So glad you liked it!
Mark
What kind of avocado exactly? I prefer Hass or Mexicola but that changes the volume from large Floridian, Californian, or Hass.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Mark, I used a Hass avocado but you can use any kind you like.
Andrea
Can I add a scoop of protein powder to this? Do you think chocolate or vanilla would taste better?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Andrea, Yes, definitely! It would make it thicker, so you might need to add more milk. I think vanilla would be better with the strawberries but you could do either.
Bryan Pender
I just used vanilla in mine and was amazing, definately more milk !!
Mary Frisch
This smoothie was fantastic. I added a little bit of plain Greek yogurt and I used blueberries. I also used one cup of unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 a cup of heavy whipping cream. It turned out so thick and creamy. Oh yeah, I also added 6 ice cubes.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked the smoothie, Mary!
Matt
Do you actually only drink 1 cup every morning?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Matt, I don’t have this every morning, but when I do, I do have one cup.
Kim
I made this as written, and it’s great! My daughters requested a taste and love it, too. My oldest said that we should try using it to make popsicles… and maybe I will next time, if there’s any left!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you and your daughters liked the smoothie, Kim! Please come back again!
Julie
This milkshake is amazing!!! I use no sweetener, coconut milk, and a dab of heavy whipping cream. My husband can taste the avocado and he doesn’t like it, but I barely even notice it. I made some last night and had half this morning and it still tasted great. Thank you so much!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Julie! I am so happy you liked the smoothie! Thanks for stopping by!
Tanecia
Tried this in the morning and it was amazeballs!! I added blueberries because I didn’t have enough strawberries but this is smoothie keto perfection. 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Blueberries are a wonderful addition, Tanecia!
Debbie
Hi Maya! If I were only making (1) serving using my Nutribullet, could you tell me the ingredient amounts? And if I swap out 1/2 of the Almond Milk for Heavy Cream, how many net carbs would that add? I just purchased my Nutribullet and and wanted to make this smoothie tonight 🙂 Thank you in advance…
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Debbie, You can change the number of servings to “1” on the recipe card and it will show you the amounts of everything. For ingredient substitutions, you’d need to enter the ingredients you’re using into an online calculator, or you can count it by checking the carb counts in my low carb food list. Hope you like the smoothie!
Beth Gribbon
Hi. Since it makes 5 servings, how long can it be kept in the fridge ? It sounds really good. Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Beth, You can store it for several days in the fridge. The color might change a little because of the avocado. If it separates, just whir it in the blender to refresh.
Ajanae
Can I use stevia instead?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Ajanae, Yes, absolutely!
Sage Kieldrup
Nutrition facts for the smoothie when it’s with the *substitution of heavy cream? . Amazing smoothie btw! Can’t even tell that there’s stevia in it!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sage, You can enter the ingredients into an online calculator if making substitutions. I’m glad you liked it!
Jacquie
How much of the strawberry smoothie can you have? Is 1 cup a serving size?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jacquie! Yes, one serving is one cup. I hope you like it!
Deborah Gervasi
I am really new to low carb keto and am determined to work it for several reasons, the first of which started out to be loosing weight, but also eating fresh. Which brings me to my question, is there a problem with my using fresh strawberries or blueberries instead of frozen? Is there a reason for using frozen? Simply curious. Looking forward to trying this recipe as the one I was making had enough carbs for a week, lol! Glad I finally sat down and counted them up! No wonder I wasn’t losing weight. Thanks.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Deborah, The main reason that the berries are frozen is so that the smoothie is ice cold. If you don’t care about that, you can use fresh. Let me know how you like it!
Terra
I’ve cut my fresh strawberries up into a freezer bag n froze them. Ready to go also making life a little easier
Shane
I’m on a 30 carbohydrates diet due to being a diabetic 2 and I’m trying to find stuff to eat or drink that is filling. If you have any good ideas email me them, please.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Shane, all of my recipes are low carb so they should fit into your diet. Are you looking for anything in particular?
momof1teenag
Can I use half or a whole banana as the sweetener? Would it still be kinda low carb?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
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.
Jodi
Can anything sub for the avocado?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
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.
Peter Piper
Yes, I sub cream cheese for avocado. Works great.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
That’s a great idea!
Tonya Turner
How much cream cheese ?
Reena Banerjee
Would love to know too haha!
