Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I skip the spinach?

• Yes. The spinach mainly boosts the smoothie’s nutrient profile and gives you that green color, but it’s still tasty without it.

Which sweetener works best?

• Monk fruit and erythritol are common low-carb options, but any keto-friendly sweetener should do the trick. Start with less and add more if needed.

Can I make it ahead of time?

• It’s best enjoyed fresh, since the avocado may darken and the texture can change when stored. If you must, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, then give it a quick stir or shake before drinking.

Do I have to use avocado?

• Avocado is a great source of healthy fats and adds natural creaminess. If you don’t have one on hand, try a small amount of full-fat yogurt or coconut cream, though the texture and macros may differ slightly.
