This keto smoothie bowl blends avocado and coconut cream into a thick, frosty base that eats like soft-serve, then finishes with crunchy nuts, coconut flakes, and chia for a breakfast that tastes like dessert at under 6g net carbs.
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (raspberries and blackberries)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton, not canned)
- 1/4 cup canned full-fat coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 scoop (about 30g) unflavored or vanilla whey/collagen protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds or chopped walnuts (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for topping)
Instructions
- 1
Add the avocado, frozen berries, coconut milk, coconut cream, almond butter, sweetener, protein powder, vanilla, and ice to a high-speed blender.
- 2
Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until thick and smooth. The texture should be spoonable like soft-serve, not pourable. Add a splash more coconut milk only if the blender stalls.
- 3
Divide the mixture between two chilled bowls and smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
- 4
Scatter the coconut flakes, sliced almonds, and chia seeds over each bowl. Serve immediately while frosty.
Tips & notes
- For the thickest spoonable texture, use frozen berries and ice rather than fresh — a runny bowl usually means too much liquid, so add coconut milk a tablespoon at a time.
- Swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter to make it nut-free, and use a plant-based protein powder to keep it dairy-free.
- Best eaten right away. If prepping ahead, blend without ice and freeze in the bowl for 20 minutes before topping; leftovers melt and separate if stored longer.

Frequently asked questions
- How many carbs are in keto smoothie bowl?
- Each serving has 5.8g net carbs (13.8g total carbs minus 8g fiber), 412 calories, 8.5g protein, and 38g fat. This recipe makes 2 servings.
- Why is my smoothie bowl too runny?
- A runny bowl almost always means too much liquid or not enough frozen ingredients. Use frozen berries plus ice instead of fresh fruit, and add coconut milk only a tablespoon at a time so the bowl stays thick enough to eat with a spoon.
- Can I make this smoothie bowl ahead of time?
- It's best blended and eaten fresh, since the avocado and coconut cream separate as they sit. If you need a head start, blend without the ice and freeze it in the serving bowl for about 20 minutes, then add toppings just before eating.
