Smoothies

These Smoothie recipes typically make 1 large serving. Increase portions if making more than one serving.

Consider adding your favorite protein powder, as appropriate for the flavor of the smoothie. Consider adding coconut cream or veg milk in order to thicken them. Consider adding fennel to some of these smoothies for an unusual flavor. Consider subbing pitted dates and/or peeled Kiwis instead of apples (adds fiber & lower glycemic).

Obviously most smoothies are fruit & veg, but I tried to select a bunch that were savory and/or didn't have a lot of high-glycemic fruit. In some cases these still wouldn't be considered Keto because they have too much fruit. Carrots and tomatoes technically aren't keto either. Use judgment.

See also the recipe for Avo-Cucumber Smoothie or gazpacho (cold soup) under "Lunch". You can make an easy, healthy smoothie with only avocado, milk, & condensed milk if you like.
