Fiber-Rich, On-The-Go Low-Carb and Keto Meal Option
This Keto Green Smoothie is packed with energizing superfood ingredients to keep you full and focused throughout your day! I personally love to drink a glass of this smoothie during the early afternoon and it keeps me satiated until dinnertime!
Featuring Local Flavor
I believe that eating meals that feature real, whole, local ingredients is the cornerstone to optimal health. Whenever possible, I buy local produce for its freshness, nutrient-density, and to support my local farmer! The BrightFarms spinach greens featured in this recipe are local to the midwest and are non-GMO and pesticide-free! Learn more about their local farming operation here!
Green Smoothie Sweetened With Monk Fruit Sweetener
This Keto Green Smoothie is sweetened with my favorite all-natural, net-carb-free, and calorie-free sweetener, Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! I personally include Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener in my diet every day as I prefer its flavor and texture over stevia or other low-carb sweeteners.
If you are looking for a sweetener that tastes like sugar and is low-carb, keto, vegan, and paleo-compliant, I highly recommend trying Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your total order!

Green Smoothie With An Added Boost of Energy From MCT Oil
MCT oil is my absolute favorite way to incorporate healthy fats into my diet, especially by way of this Keto Green Smoothie. MCT Oil is derived from coconuts and is rapidly absorbed by our bodies and converted into physical energy and causes improved mental performance. The days that I do not have MCT Oil in my smoothie or my coffee, I instantly notice a decline in my ability to focus and my energy output in the gym. There is rarely a day that goes by that I don’t add MCT Oil or MCT Oil Powder to a drink or meal!
I use Perfect Keto MCT Oil and it gives me the extra boost of energy I need to power through my days and remain satiated between meals.

Net Carbs
With only 3.6g net carbs (all of which are coming from low-glycemic, whole, real food!), you can enjoy this nutrient-dense green smoothie while happily remaining in ketosis!

How come it says it 14.1 grams net carbs when you previously said it was only 3.6?
There are 14.1g total carbs per serving and 3.6g net carbs (total carbs – fiber – sugar alcohols = net carbs).
