Keto Green Smoothie Bowl

This bowl is packed with protein, nutrients, and good fats. It’s vegan, low-carb, sugar-free and quick to prepare. Walnuts, chia and hemp seeds are full of omega-3 fatty acids too. The toppings are up to you, but I have suggestions below. My inspiration is wholesomeyumfoods.com, a great resource for all things keto.

• 1⁄2 an avocado

• 1⁄2 c full-fat coconut milk (or unsweetened almond milk, or milk of your choice)

• 1⁄2 c power greens

• 1⁄2 c kale, stemmed, leaves only

• 1 t lemon or lime juice

• 2 T chia coconut pudding*

• 1⁄2 t vanilla

• 2 T sweetened of your choice, stevia, Allulose, Swerve, Monk Fruit, Xylitol, Erythritol, etc

• 3-4 ice cubes

• 1⁄2 T MCT oil powder (optional)

• 1⁄2 T collagen protein powder (optional)

• Drizzle of walnut oil for garnish (optional)

Toppings

• 1 t hemp seeds

• 1 T chopped walnuts

• 1 T coconut Flakes

• 2 T blueberries, raspberries, strawberries (optional)

Add all smoothie ingredients to a powerful blender (Vitamix for example). Blend until smooth, add a tablespoon of water or coconut milk to help it along if it’s too thick. Pour into a bowl. Top with your choice of toppings. Drizzle on a little walnut oil if desired.

Chia Coconut Pudding

I always have some of this on hand in the refrigerator. It’s great on its own or added to smoothies. A couple spoonfuls make a great high-protein healthy-fat snack too. Make it in the evening so it’s ready for breakfast the next day.

• 1 c full-fat coconut milk

• 1 1⁄2 T Allulose (or sweetener of your choice)

• 1⁄4 c chia seeds

Place chia seeds in a large Mason jar or other glass container. Add coconut milk and sweetener to the jar and shake to combine well. Give it a stir and place in the refrigerator overnight.
