Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
• 0.5 whole Avocado
• 0.5 cup Ice cubes
• 1 teaspoon Stevia
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop out 1/2 of the avocado flesh into the blender.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk to the blender. This will be your base liquid that keeps the smoothie low in carbs.

Step 3

Measure 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt and add it to the blender. The yogurt adds creaminess and a dose of protein.

Step 4

Add 1 teaspoon of stevia to the blender for a touch of sweetness without the carbs. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, if necessary.

Step 5

Pour in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavors and give your smoothie a subtle, delightful aroma.

Step 6

Finally, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes for thickness and a refreshing chill.

Step 7

Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are fully combined and the smoothie is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or consistency as preferred by adding more stevia or almond milk.

Step 9

Pour the smoothie into two servings glasses, and if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a few berries on top, keeping in mind any additional carbs.

Step 10

Enjoy your creamy, low-carb smoothie base as is, or add other low-carb fruits or flavor enhancements as desired.
