Ingredients

• For the smoothie:

• 1/2 large avocado (100 g/ 3.5 oz)

• 1/2 cup coconut milk such as Aroy-D (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)

• 1/3 cup frozen mixed berries (50 g/ 1.8 oz)

• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk (360 ml/ 12 fl oz)

• 1 tbsp raw cacao powder (5 g/ 0.2 oz)

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder

• 2 tbsp collagen powder (14 g/ 0.5 oz) – see alternatives below
• For the cereal:

• 1/4 cup flaked almonds (23 g/ 0.8 oz)

• 1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut (15 g/ 0.5 oz)

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp virgin coconut oil

• For the topping:

• 2 tbsp cacao nibs (28 g/ 1 oz)

• 2 tbsp hemp seeds (20 g/ 0.7 oz)

Directions

• Pour the coconut milk into an ice cube tray. Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Cut into medium pieces and place in a container. Store both in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until set.
• In a bowl, combine flaked almonds and flaked coconut. Add cinnamon and drizzle with the coconut oil. Mix to coat evenly. Sprinkle over a baking tray and transfer into the oven.
• Bake for 3-5 minutes, until crisped up and lightly golden. Mix half way through to prevent burning.
• Place frozen berries, frozen avocado pieces and frozen coconut milk into a high speed blender. Add almond milk. Add raw cacao powder, cinnamon, vanilla and collagen. Process until smooth and creamy.
• Divide between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the prepared keto cereal (1/4 cup per each), cacao nibs and hemp seeds. Serve immediately.
• Garnish your smoothie bowl with some fresh berries if you like. Enjoy!

Is this Keto Smoothie Bowl suitable for a ketogenic diet?
Yes. This smoothie bowl is designed for a ketogenic lifestyle, with high healthy fat content and relatively low carbohydrates, using ingredients such as avocado, coconut milk, almond milk, and keto-friendly toppings.

Is this smoothie bowl appropriate for breakfast or a snack?
Yes. With over 500 calories per serving, it works well as a filling breakfast or a substantial afternoon snack that helps maintain energy and satiety for hours.

Can I replace coconut milk or almond milk with another type of milk?
Yes. You may substitute with other unsweetened, low-carb plant-based milks such as cashew milk or macadamia milk, as long as they fit within your carb limits.

Are frozen berries allowed on keto?
Yes, when used in moderation. This recipe uses a small portion of frozen mixed berries to add flavor and antioxidants while keeping overall carbs controlled.

Is collagen powder required for this recipe?
No. Collagen powder is optional and mainly adds protein and nutritional benefits. You can omit it or replace it with another keto-friendly protein powder if desired.

Can I prepare this smoothie bowl ahead of time?
This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed immediately after blending to maintain its thick, creamy texture. Preparing it too far in advance may cause separation or melting.

Do I need a high-speed blender to make this recipe?
A high-speed blender is recommended for best results, especially when blending frozen ingredients. However, a standard blender may work if ingredients are allowed to soften slightly.

Can this smoothie bowl be made dairy-free?
Yes. The recipe is naturally dairy-free, as it uses plant-based milks and fats, making it suitable for those avoiding dairy while following a keto diet.
