Ingredients for Blueberry Avocado Smoothie
You just need very few ingredients to make this healthy blueberry avocado breakfast smoothie.
- Blueberry: I have used frozen wild blueberries which helps to thicken the smoothie. However you may also use fresh blueberries but make sure to add ice cubes to make it thick.
- Avocado: should be very ripe to get a smooth and velvety texture. Fresh or frozen both works.
- Milk: I've used almond milk in this smoothie, but you can use dairy, soy, oat, or any other type of milk. You can also use yogurt in place of milk.
- Almond butter: Is added to get extra protein and to make the smoothie rich and creamy. You may also use peanut butter instead of almond butter.
- Ground Flaxseed meal: We like to add ground flaxseed meal for an extra source of protein as well as omega-3 and fiber.
- Sweetener: add sweetener of your choices like maple syrup, honey, agave, or dates. It's optional. If you are on Keto diet use stevia or mont fruit.

Variations & Notes

- If you are drinking this smoothie post-workout add 1 scoop of protein powder and blend.
- To make it healthier add a handful of fresh spinach or kale and chia seeds while blending.

FAQs
Yes. Blueberries and avocados are keto-friendly fruits. However Blueberries contain more carbs than strawberries or raspberries, so should be used moderately to limit carbs intake.
