How to make a keto chocolate smoothie?

A keto chocolate smoothie has no banana. While bananas are often used to thickened smoothie they also contains lots of natural sugar not suitable for diabetics. Therefore, the trick to make the most delicious thick sugar free chocolate smoothie is avocado. Avocado is naturally creamy, bland in flavor when combined with cocoa powder and adds the perfect thickness to keto smoothies. Plus it helps you reach your fat intake and gives you fiber and protein to feel full for longer.

Let’s see all you need to make this decadent chocolate drink

• Ripe avocado – of course, this is the key to the perfect creamy keto smoothie. Make sure your avocado is soft with no black spots
• Unsweetened cocoa powder 
• Unsweetened almond milk – I love to use Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk as it doesn’t contains added sugar and it is very bland in smoothies
• Hemp powder –  amazing plant-based protein high in fat, perfect to boost fat burning on keto diet. It also adds thickness to this keto chocolate smoothie. If you don’t have some, you can replace this powder by chia powder, keto protein powder or flaxmeal
• Ice cubes – this adds extra thickness to the drink
• Sugar free crystal sweetener – Monk fruit crystal, xylitol, erythritol or stevia drops ! All works well
