Feel free to add more or less ice to your blender depending on your preferred smoothie texture and taste.
You can also use frozen avocado, simply leave out the ice.
To freeze an avocado, slice it in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado halves from the skin, then place them into a large freezer safe zip lock bag or other air-tight container.

Yes, avocado is an excellent keto fruit. With 22 grams of fat, avocados are a wonderful source of healthy fat, making them ideal additions to a keto lifestyle.
Avocados are also a source of fiber, in fact, a medium avocado contains twice the fiber of a medium apple.
One whole avocado contains 12 grams of carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber on average.
The addition of avocado makes any smoothie creamier.
Toppings for Smoothies

As all protein powder scoops are different sizes, how many grams do you recommend?
Four Score Living
Hi John,
Great point! We usually just add one serving (whatever is listed on the label), so we can easily track the macros.

Can I use liquid egg white as protein source
