Wake up and put some fat in your belly! The most beautiful part of a ketogenic lifestyle is that you get to focus on healthy fats, and without fear that it will make you pack on pounds. Really... the mindset shift from fear of fats to outright focus on them is still kind of mind-boggling, even if you've been eating keto for months or years.
And what's a more healthy fat than avocado? Pretty much nothing. There are so many reasons to start your day with an avocado, and this keto breakfast (or anytime) smoothie recipe offers a creamy and delightful start to your fat-fueled day.
How to make the Avocado Coconut Ginger Smoothie
Ingredients for Avocado Coconut Ginger Smoothie
- 1 cup full fat canned coconut milk
- 1 whole avocado

Smoothie Boosters
Obviously, depending on what your macro structure is, you could add your favorite collagen powder or protein powder to this and beef up the nutritionals even more. But even in its simplest form, this Avocado Coconut Ginger Smoothie will fill you up, fuel your fat-burning metabolic fire, and set you on the path for a great day.

If you're going to take in a handful of carbohydrates, do so in the morning. You'll give your body time to burn any of those up during the day, and you'll set the tone for monitoring carbs closely for the rest of the day. Unlike a breakfast of eggs and bacon, this smoothie does account for a few net carbohydrates—5.2 net carbs to be exact.
- Calories: 711
- Fat: 12 grams
- Total Carbohydrates: 14.2
- Fiber: 9 grams
