If It Looks Good, It Tastes Good
Pretty food tastes better, and that’s a fact. Maybe that’s part of why this keto smoothie bowl is so delicious– although surely the berries, silky smooth texture, delectably sweet flavor, and tasty toppings contribute.
I started making this smoothie bowl as an excuse to eat more granola. Which I’m totally hooked on– but you already know this because I tell you All. The. Time. (sorry!)
Anyway, granola needs a vehicle– but sometimes, Greek yogurt is too tart, and adding it to smoothies is a choking hazard. So one day, it dawned on me. Why don’t I add less milk to my smoothie? Why don’t I eat it with a spoon? Why don’t I make a low carb smoothie bowl?
Full transparency: I did not invent the smoothie bowl. But I did invent THIS smoothie bowl. And with all the topping options, you can invent your very own too. So go, my friend. Unleash the artist inside of you. Blend, decorate, and devour. And fill your morning with a little more beauty 🥤❤️ – Linds x
Ingredient Notes
The trick to this keto breakfast is using COLD ingredients because cold smoothies taste way better. If frozen fruit isn’t an option, you can always make your keto smoothie bowl and stash it in the fridge for an hour before diving in.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Frozen berries – The best keto fruits for keto smoothies are raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries (yes, blueberries are higher in carbs). Feel free to sub in whatever works with your eating plan.
- Avocado, diced + frozen. Dice up your avocado and put it on a plate to freeze while you make your morning coffee. Or even the night before.
- Keto milk – I switch between light almond and coconut milk. Use what you love.
- Keto protein powder, vanilla – You don’t have to add protein powder (I always do for protein and additional flavor!). But if you do, taste test and make sure you like the flavor first– I hate pea protein powders, and avoid them at all costs! Also, read labels carefully, as many products contain added sugar. Finally, if you choose to skip the protein powder, you’ll want to add a bit more sweetener.
- Lakanto or Swerve, for additional sweetness. I use these 2 keto sweeteners most frequently– if using allulose or a different brand of erythritol, know that they’re 70% as sweet.
Best Smoothie Bowl Toppings
Now for the fun part. Your keto smoothie bowl simply wouldn’t be complete without a handful of toppings. Keep it low carb with these delicious options:
- Chopped keto nuts and seeds, such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, hemp seeds, or pepitas.
- Unsweetened, shredded coconut – I can’t dig into this low carb smoothie bowl without it.
- Keto chocolate chips
- Sliced fruit – again, berries are your lowest carb option.
- Granola! Check out my keto chocolate granola to switch things up.
Storing Tips
Low carb smoothie bowls are best enjoyed right after making them. However, I have stored them sealed and in the fridge for a day or so–they won’t be as pretty but they’ll taste great. Just give them a good stir before diving in.
Want to meal prep your smoothie bowl? Pour your blended ingredients into a resealable bag and into the freezer. Next time you want a smoothie bowl for breakfast, place the smoothie in the fridge the night before, top, and enjoy.

Lindsey's Tips
- Frozen berries - Feel free to sub in your favorite fruit-- raspberries and blackberries are your lowest carb options
- Frozen avocado - Dice your avocado before freezing it. This can be done 30 minutes before.
- Milk - Use whatever milk you like the taste of.
- Protein powder - This is optional but highly recommended. If omitting, consider adding more sweetener. Taste test and make sure you like the flavor of the product you're using! My favorite brand is ISO Pure vanilla. Also, read labels carefully, as many products contain added sugar.
- I switch between Lakanto or Swerve here, if using a different brand of erythritol (or allulose) you'll want to increase the amount added, as they're typically 70% as sweet.

This is absolutely amazing. But one question, it practically broke my Vitamix…do you use a food processor? Any tips there? Thanks for all you do, Lindsey! 🙂
Hi Kristi! Yikes, I thought those things were indestructible 😂 You can add a bit more milk! Or, not freeze the avocado, and instead place the smoothie bowl in the fridge to cool it down before you eat it. Happy you enjoyed it!
Hi Lindsey, I have to admit, I knew better. I’ve had my VItamix for 12 years. I KNOW to add liquid first, always. Operator error! I’ll just make sure I add more water, first. I froze the 2nd half and ate it today. Just as delicious as last week’s made fresh! Thanks again, I love your recipes!!
SO happy you liked it! And thank you so much for your kind words Kristi!!
This was great as far as flavour goes, but I ran into the same problem as Kristi, a previous poster. The very small quantity of liquid, along with the protein powder and frozen fruit, made for an exceedingly thick and powdery mixture that wouldn’t even blend. My blender’s motor started smoking after the first few seconds. I ended up adding 1/3 cup liquid before it would actually move in the blender. So, don’t be shy to add extra liquid. Don’t fry your blender.
Hi Angela! So happy you liked the taste! And thanks for sharing about your blender, yikes! You definitely need a high speed blender to combine these ingredients in order to get your smoothie into spoonable form. It’s a hard balance (enough liquid, but spoonable) — I thought I was being frugal by purchasing my Blendtec instead of a Vitamix, but I lucked out, that thing blended the ingredient combo without any problems hehe! I’ll add a note to the recipe card with your feedback.
It’s not often that I comment on recipes unless they really impress me. I felt the need to comment on this one. I had an avocado to use up but am extremely tired of chocolate mousse and I don’t like avocados to use them in anything but sweet things. As others said this recipe was very refreshing and I was so impressed at how good and how different it was. I used frozen blackberries….soooo good! Thanks for the comment on freezing it because it’s just me. Next recipe I’m trying is the sloppy joes on portabella mushroom caps. Thanks so much for all that you do.
I appreciate your comment, Sandy! It made my heart happy, really. SO glad you loved Low Carb Smoothie Bowl. Enjoy! 😄
