Nutritional Information

Avocado: Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fibre, avocado adds creaminess and thickness to the smoothie while providing essential nutrients such as potassium, vitamin E, and folate.
Cocoa Powder: Packed with antioxidants and flavonoids, cocoa powder adds a rich chocolate flavour to the smoothie without the added sugars. It may also have potential benefits for heart health and cognitive function.
Coconut Milk: A dairy-free alternative to traditional milk, coconut milk adds richness and flavour to the smoothie while providing healthy fats that support ketosis and weight loss on a ketogenic diet.
Almond Butter: High in healthy fats, protein, and fibre, almond butter adds creaminess and nutty flavour to the smoothie while providing sustained energy and satiety.
Stevia or Monk Fruit: Natural, calorie-free sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit are used to sweeten the smoothie without adding carbohydrates, making it suitable for a ketogenic diet.
