How to Make a Keto Blueberry Smoothie
Gather 5 ingredients and your blender. Then, whip up this berry smoothie with almond milk in just 5 minutes!
There are a variety of avocado smoothie recipes, but I like this one the best because it’s thick and creamy, almost like a shake. Plus, prep time is minimal, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand.
Ingredients
Almond milk – As a lighter option, almond milk has fewer calories than coconut milk. However, you can substitute coconut milk and get a great finish too. If you need to increase fat macros, coconut milk is a great choice. Almond milk is dairy-free and low-carb. If you have a nut allergy, substitute hemp or pumpkin seed milk.
Avocado – Blend fresh or frozen avocado. I learned about “hidden avocado” after making 10-Minute Chocolate Avocado Pudding. Avocados are a key ingredient for making creamy, dairy-free, filling, and quick treats! So say “yes” to a keto smoothie with avocado.
Blueberries – In the summer, I prefer using fresh blueberries, however, at other times of the year, substitute with equal amounts of frozen berries. The texture may be different but the flavor will be just as delicious. A fresh berry smoothie sips more easily through a straw than blending frozen berries, which makes a more of a frosty shake.
Lemon juice – Just a splash of citrus makes the flavor pop! Lemon and blueberries are often paired together for a good reason.
Sweetener – Round out this keto avocado blueberry smoothie with a small amount of sweetener. I use a homemade stevia extract, but you can substitute a store-bought brand or even erythritol.
I recommend a powdered sweetener over granular because it will incorporate much better. Sometimes the granular options don’t blend thoroughly and leave a gritty texture, particularly in the last few sips. Nobody likes that!
Step-By-Step Directions
Remember this low-carb avocado smoothie next time you’re in a hurry and need a meal on the go. It’s better than any smoothie you’ll find at a fast-food restaurant! Pack the keto smoothie in a to-go cup and take it out the door with you.
Follow this easy 3-step process, and you can’t go wrong!
Add ingredients
Add all the ingredients to a blender.
Blend
Flick the blender on and let it run until the ingredients are smooth and well combined.
Serve
Divide the smoothie between two glasses and serve immediately.
This recipe yields two servings. However, it’s very flexible to scale up or down depending on how many people you want to feed. For example, if you only need one serving, divide the ingredient amounts in half. If you desire more servings, multiply the ingredients accordingly.
By chance, if any leftovers remain, freeze the avocado blueberry smoothie by dividing equally into small sandwich-sized ziplock bags. Place each bag flat in the freezer. Once frozen, you can store them standing up straight, so they take less space.
Smoothies don’t last long in the fridge; therefore, freezing the extra portions is the best. This way, nothing goes to waste, and you will have pre-prepped food, saving you time on a busy day.
Keto Smoothie with Avocado FAQ
I understand you might have some questions, particularly if berry smoothie with avocado is new to you or you’ve never worked with low-carb ingredients before. Let me answer some common queries and clarify the process for you.
I highly recommend blending avocado in a smoothie because the avocado gives an unparalleled thick and creamy texture with lots of healthy fats that will keep you full for hours.
Thanks to all the other ingredients in this recipe, you won’t taste avocado in the smoothie. If needed, add additional stevia drops to mask the avocado flavor further.
This is a low calories smoothie. Per serving, there are only about 50 calories from 7 grams carbohydrate, 1 gram protein, 2 gram fat. There are 5 gram net carbs per serving.
Are Blueberries Keto Friendly?
Strawberries are the most keto-friendly fruit because they have the lowest carb count compared to other berries. (1, 2).
However, blueberries are also acceptable for a keto diet. Per 1 cup, there are 83 calories coming from 0.5 g fat, 1 g protein, 21 g total carbohydrate, and 17.5 g net carb (3).
In this recipe, we use one-half cup of blueberries, divided into two servings. Each serving has 5.25 g total carbohydrate and 4 net carbs from the berries.
Berries are a great choice for keto and a clear winner over other high-sugar fruits like banana, pineapple, and mango. For more about this question, jump over to Keto Cooking Wins’ post Are Blueberries Keto?

I originally published this recipe on June 29, 2018.
Very easy, delicious, healthy and filling. It makes me full with just 1 serving. Perfect for those busy work from home mornings.
Love that this is vegan-friendly and dairy-free! So perfect for my busy mornings since it’s very easy and fast to make. For me, the creamy taste of avocado made this smoothie so delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
Glad we are helping with vegan recipes here, Stella. Thanks for the review.
Used erythritol instead of stevia for the sweetener, and it worked perfectly. No gritty texture at all. Super loved the smoothie!
Happy to hear that other sweeteners are working for the recipe. Thanks for the comment, Jon.
This smoothie is so versatile! I’ve experimented with different berries and it always turns out delicious. My favorite was the blueberries and lemon combo because the flavors really shine through.
Thank you for the five star review, Denise.
This smoothie is so quick to make and packed with flavors. I really love the addition of lemon juice because it adds that subtle zing. I just added a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and it gave the smoothie a nice texture.
I love to add chia in smoothies too 🙂 Thanks for the comment and great review, Marla.
Outstanding! Simply outstanding!! I made it with oat milk instead as that was what we had. He was reticent because he thought the avocado would ruin it. NOPE!! He said he couldn’t even taste it. And blueberries are a favorite of mine so I will be making this more often.
Thanks for the comments and review, Leila. Yes, that avocado is sneaky, but such a great texture creator.
I made this yesterday and it was super good! Blueberry adds such a lovely purple to the smoothie. I also added some chia seeds to smoothies. Gorgeous! Thanks!
I’m so glad you like the recipe! The color is really pretty, I agree.
I have made this with both almond milk and real milk and both were delicious!
So glad you liked it! Watch the carbs in dairy milk, if you’re eating keto. They have a way of adding up quickly.
The avocado was barely noticeable! A nice mild and sweet smoothie. Thanks!!
Awesome 🙂 Adding avocado to smoothies is a great way to meet your fat macros on keto.
