Start by preparing all your ingredients. Have your blender ready and ensure your coconut milk is well-shaken if it comes in a can.
Place the ice cubes into the blender first. This will help with blending all ingredients smoothly.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, ensuring it is distributed evenly to avoid clumping during the blend.
Scoop out half of an avocado, removing any traces of skin or pit, and add it to the blender. Avocado provides creaminess and healthy fats which are perfect for a keto diet.
Pour in the unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which adds a rich coconut flavor and serves as the liquid base for the smoothie.
Add the vanilla extract for a sweet and aromatic flavor boost.
Include the liquid stevia or your choice of keto-friendly sweetener. Adjust the quantity based on your sweetness preference, but start with 1 teaspoon.
Squeeze fresh lime juice and add it to the blender. This helps balance the sweetness and adds a refreshing citrusy kick.
For an extra nutritional boost and texture, sprinkle in the optional chia seeds.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with all ingredients well incorporated, about 30-45 seconds.
Taste your smoothie. If more sweetness is needed, add another drop of liquid stevia, blend for a few more seconds, and taste again.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
