Keto Chocolate Chip Mint Smoothie

Keto Chocolate Chip Mint Smoothie made with avocado, mint, and cacao nibs in a clear glass with fresh toppings.

Some mornings call for something indulgent and refreshing, all while keeping us energized and on track with our keto goals. That’s exactly where this Keto Chocolate Chip Mint Smoothie comes in. Born out of a craving for something that felt like dessert yet behaved like breakfast, this smoothie delivers a cool minty flavor, creamy texture, and the perfect balance of fats and protein to keep us full and satisfied.

We first created this smoothie on a hot afternoon when the usual cold brew wasn't cutting it. What we wanted was something that tasted like a milkshake but without the sugar and heaviness. The avocado gave us that ultra-smooth creaminess, while cacao nibs added a satisfying crunch and deep chocolatey bite. Add in fresh mint and a splash of vanilla, and suddenly we had something that felt both luxurious and nourishing.

This has quickly become our go-to for breakfast on-the-go, mid-afternoon pick-me-ups, and even late-night cravings when we’re trying to avoid reaching for something sweet. It blends up in just a few minutes and tastes like a cross between a Thin Mint and a chocolate chip frappe—but without the carbs or guilt.

Packed with healthy fats, fiber, and just the right amount of sweetness, this smoothie has become a staple in our kitchen. Whether we’re prepping for a busy day or winding down after a workout, this minty chocolate chip blend is always a welcome treat that keeps us fueled and feeling great.
