Free Printable: Low Carb & Keto Food List
Get It NowHigh-sugar smoothies are not suitable for a keto diet, as they use high-sugar fruits like bananas, added sugar, honey, or milk with high carbs. There’s good news, though: It’s easy to make keto smoothie recipes for breakfast as long as you use keto fruits and sugar substitutes. This strawberry avocado keto smoothie recipe is creamy, satisfying, nourishing and just plain delicious… all with just 4 ingredients.
Besides, the simple, whole food components in this one mean that it’s a great simply healthy option even if you’re not on keto. Whether it’s too hot for keto oatmeal or you just need a quick snack, this ice cold, rich and creamy drink is sure to satisfy.
Don’t worry, you won’t even taste the avocado! Similar to strawberry almond milk or a sugar-free slushie, keto smoothies can have lots of sweet fruit flavor — plus an added boost of healthy fats. This is about to become one of your go-to keto smoothie recipes. 😉
Why You’ll Love This Keto Smoothie Recipe
- Sweet and fruity flavor
- Thick, ultra creamy texture
- Just 4 ingredients
- 2 minutes to make
- Naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free
- Packed with vitamins and minerals
For a truly creamy and sweet keto smoothie without the sugar spike, a powdered keto sweetener is a must. This recipe uses Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend because it dissolves seamlessly into every sip — nobody wants a gritty drink! Most other sugar substitutes (including most brands of monk fruit and stevia) use erythritol as a bulking agent, which does not dissolve well. Plus, Besti has 0 grams of net carbs and tastes just like sugar, making it perfect for a drink that tastes like it came straight from the smoothie shop.
Keto Smoothie Ingredients & Variations
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for a keto smoothie with avocado, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
Basic Ingredients:
- Avocado – Adds a perfect creamy texture that makes this recipe almost like a dessert instead of a keto fruit smoothie. You can also use frozen avocado! And in case you’re wondering, you won’t taste the avocado — it’s just there for texture and nutrition!
- Milk – Every keto smoothie recipe 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 a homemade almond milk or use a store-bought brand with no sugar added. Vanilla almond milk is also a delicious option. If you’re not dairy-free or paleo, you can swap out half the almond milk for heavy cream for a richer, creamier version. If you are dairy-free and/or paleo, or need a nut-free alternative, then use coconut milk or hemp milk.
- Berries – This is for flavor and sweetness in your avocado almond milk smoothie. We’re using frozen berries, because they help make the smoothie thicker and colder, but fresh ones are fine to use if that’s all you have. Strawberries are among the lowest carb fruit options available on your low carb foods list. They are also great for an avocado fruit smoothie because they are sweeter than other berries, so you can use less sweetener. You could use blueberries or raspberries if you want something more tart, have a sensitivity to strawberries, or just want to shake up your raw avocado smoothie recipe.
- Sweetener – I prefer Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend for a smooth texture. It blends well, tastes like sugar, and doesn’t get gritty. If you use a sweetener other than Besti (check my sweetener conversion guide), you’ll need to make a sugar-free simple syrup with it, so that it doesn’t get gritty, and even then there’s a risk it won’t dissolve completely. Besti will dissolve effortlessly with no aftertaste, so it’s what I always reach for. You can also use Wholesome Yum Keto Simple Syrup instead, which is perfect for all kinds of drinks. Finally, you could even omit sweetener altogether if you don’t want it very sweet, and depending on how sweet your strawberries are.
Other Possible Additions:
- Yogurt – Creates a creamier texture. Be sure your yogurt is unsweetened; I recommend using full-fat Greek yogurt or this keto yogurt recipe.
- Protein Powder – Add unflavored, or flavored but unsweetened, collagen or whey protein powder for a protein boost. You can also try my protein smoothie recipe.
- Nut Butter – Peanut butter, almond butter, or any other nut butter is great for adding healthy fats and thickening, though this strawberry smoothie recipe is already quite thick from the frozen strawberries and avocado. If you add nut butter, you may need more milk and sweetener.
- Vanilla Extract – Great addition if you’re not already using vanilla almond milk.
How To Make A Keto Smoothie
This section shows how to make an avocado and strawberry smoothie with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Combine. Add all ingredients to a high-power blender.
- Blend. Blend until the mixture is smooth. If your blender gets stuck, stir and blend again. (You can also thin out with more milk if your blender isn’t powerful enough.)
- Taste. Adjust sweetener to taste as needed.
- Garnish. I like to garnish with a fresh strawberry and sometimes, sugar-free whipped cream.
Storage Instructions
You can make this strawberry keto smoothie for later, just be aware that the avocado can brown a bit and may be thinner since the strawberries will no longer be frozen. You may want to add a splash of lemon juice or lime juice to help reduce the browning effect, or just skip the hassle and make it fresh.
- Store: If you have leftovers from your strawberry avocado smoothie, pour them into an airtight container (ideally to the brim to prevent oxidation and browning), or a zip lock bag with the air pushed out. Seal and store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Freeze: Pour leftovers into a freezer-safe container, ice cube tray, or zip lock bag. Freeze up to 2 months.
- Enjoy: If the smoothie shows any signs of separation after storing or freezing, give it a quick blend to incorporate it again.

0Can you save the other portion for the next day in fridge?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Christie, Yes! Enjoy.
Mal Edie
0What other keto sweetener can ya use if you don’t have powdered Allulose?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Mal, Powdered erythritol or a powdered sweetener blend will work. Keep in mind that if you use a sweetener blend, you will need less sweetener than is called for in the recipe.
Susana
0I did this today in the morning for my breakfast fruit smoothie and it was very refreshing I loved it! My sweetheart also loved the taste! Will do this one again!
Valerie
0I am pleasantly surprised. I will definitely make again
Ellen F.
0I just want to say thank you for your recipes. I’ve been on the keto diet for the last 2 months and I’ve lost 15 pounds. The keto diet makes me feel better.
Rosalyn Thompson
0Is there any way to save leftovers?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Rosalyn, press plastic wrap on to the top of your smoothie. This should prevent the smoothie from being exposed to air and discoloring. It can be stored in the fridge until you are ready to drink it.
Carolyn
0I have just started Keto and have trouble finding things for breakfast due to an egg allergy..I loved loved loved this smoothie….The flavour is devine..Thanks
Su Rogers
0Hi there – I find that I don’t need any sweeteners of any kind when making smoothies – the berries are sweet enough. Just a wee comment. I find any artificial sweeteners to be too cloying and ruin the taste of the smoothie for myself. Great recipes!
Malorie Edie
0Just made the strawberry avocado keto smoothie and I added unsweetened vanilla almond milk & also added powdered monk fruit sweetener to it. Omg, it tastes so good, yum. I would def make that again.
tammy funk
0omg I want to make this. I’m watching carbs and sugar and sodium is this a go. I get a sweet tooth.
Christine
0Yummy! I hate avocados but decided to give this a try. Strawberries were not overly ripe so I did add some truvia sweetener. I added some ice cubes to blender and then added a few when done. Icy cold and refreshing. Thanks for this awsome, simple and delicious recipe.
Lynda
0Can 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
0Hi 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.
Lorrie MN Keating
0‘1 large avocado’. Large, medium, small are arbitrary measurements. Can you please provide the amount by either a standard measurement or by weight (preferred)?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lorrie, I understand the frustration with this type of measurement. Avocados are unique because the pit can vary greatly in size, so it’s a gamble to know how much exactly you are buying when picking avocados. With that said, please know that this recipe is very forgiving and will turn out well with any amount of avocado that you can get from a single fruit. If you are more concerned about macros, then I suggest working backwards and only adding in (by weight) the amount of avocado you are needing to hit your macro goals.
Tina
0The video shows 2 avocados but the recipe shows only one. Which is it?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Tina, The written recipe is correct, just one avocado. Enjoy!
Lynnda
0hello — 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
0Hi 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
0I 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
0Hi 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
0I 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
0Will this keep overnight in the fridge? Running a blender at 5am = grumpy family members 🙂
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Mac, it’s not ideal but I think that would work. 🙂
Johnna
0YummOH! 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
0How do I divide ingredients for a SINGLE Smoothies at a time?
Wholesome Yum L
0Hi 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
0YUM!! 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
0Hi 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
0Hi Ryan, 0.2 of an avocado would be 1/5 of the avocado. I hope you love this recipe.
Dani
0Can someone tell me what 0.4 of an avocado is? My brain is not working.
Wholesome Yum L
0Hi Dani! 0.4 of an avocado would be two-fifths of an avocado. However, the recipe calls for 1 large avocado! 😉
Kari
0She asked what .4 of an avocado is because when you adjust the serving size (as you recommended), that’s what comes up for two servings… .4 avocado. So while you wrote the recipe as one whole avocado, people are making smaller portions. Her question was valid!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kari, Fruits and vegetables don’t all grow to uniform sizes and shapes, so it can be difficult to give exact amounts when it comes to recipes. If you are scaling the recipe to serve 2, then .4 of a large avocado would be a bit less than 1/2 of the avocado. You can approximate this by scooping out the round of the avocado half and reserve the top of the fruit to use for something else. I hope this helps!
Samantha
0Yum! 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
0Why so many (7) net carbs per cup ?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Glenn, The carbs come mostly from the strawberries.
Dee
0Simply good
Jessa
0This 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
0Hi 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
0Oh my gosh, that looks so delicious! THANK YOU!
Fran
0I 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
0Did the mix of coconut cream and almond milk. This is amazing!
Candice Stansell
0I love making this its so easy and good; I used coconut sugar for mine.
Veronica
0Why did you use 1 1b of strawberries?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Veronica, The strawberries provide flavor and sweetness.
Bryan Pender
0Amazing recipe, added vanilla protein powder, tasted like ice cream.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you so much, Bryan! Love that idea!
Ellen
0Thanks 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
0I am so happy you liked it, Eleen! Have a great day!
Leah
0This 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
0Thank you so much, Leah! So glad you liked it!
Mark
0What kind of avocado exactly? I prefer Hass or Mexicola but that changes the volume from large Floridian, Californian, or Hass.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Mark, I used a Hass avocado but you can use any kind you like.
Andrea
0Can I add a scoop of protein powder to this? Do you think chocolate or vanilla would taste better?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi 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
0I just used vanilla in mine and was amazing, definately more milk !!
Mary Frisch
0This 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
0I am so happy you liked the smoothie, Mary!
Matt
0Do you actually only drink 1 cup every morning?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Matt, I don’t have this every morning, but when I do, I do have one cup.
Kim
0I 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
0I am so happy you and your daughters liked the smoothie, Kim! Please come back again!
Julie
0This 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
0Hi Julie! I am so happy you liked the smoothie! Thanks for stopping by!
Tanecia
0Tried 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
0Blueberries are a wonderful addition, Tanecia!
Debbie
0Hi 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
0Hi 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
0Hi. Since it makes 5 servings, how long can it be kept in the fridge ? It sounds really good. Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi 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
0Can I use stevia instead?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Ajanae, Yes, absolutely!
Sage Kieldrup
0Nutrition 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
0Hi Sage, You can enter the ingredients into an online calculator if making substitutions. I’m glad you liked it!
Jacquie
0How much of the strawberry smoothie can you have? Is 1 cup a serving size?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Jacquie! Yes, one serving is one cup. I hope you like it!
Deborah Gervasi
0I 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
0Hi 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
0I’ve cut my fresh strawberries up into a freezer bag n froze them. Ready to go also making life a little easier
Shane
0I’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
0Hi Shane, all of my recipes are low carb so they should fit into your diet. Are you looking for anything in particular?
momof1teenag
0Can I use half or a whole banana as the sweetener? Would it still be kinda low carb?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Yes, 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
0Can anything sub for the avocado?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi 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
0Yes, I sub cream cheese for avocado. Works great.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0That’s a great idea!
Tonya Turner
0How much cream cheese ?
Reena Banerjee
0Would love to know too haha!
