- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions

Add the coconut milk, almond milk, and MCT oil to a high-speed blender first so the blades move freely.
- 2
Add the avocado, spinach, vanilla extract, monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- 3
Top with the ice cubes and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides once if needed.

Pour into two chilled glasses and serve immediately.
Tips & notes
- Use a fully ripe avocado for the silkiest texture. The avocado yields to gentle pressure when ready.
- For a higher-protein version, blend in a scoop of unsweetened vanilla collagen or whey isolate; it adds protein with negligible carbs.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Press plastic wrap onto the surface to limit browning, then shake before drinking.
