Can I make this avocado tahini smoothie ahead of time?

It’s best to drink it fresh. Avocados don’t hold up well once blended, they can turn brown and the texture changes. But if you really need to prep ahead, squeeze extra lemon juice into the mix and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a few hours.

Is this avocado tahini smoothie good for the keto diet?

Yes, it’s perfect for the keto diet. It’s full of healthy fats from avocado and tahini, has very low carbs, and no added sugar. Just make sure to use unsweetened almond milk and a keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or erythritol.

What can I use instead of tahini in this smoothie?

If you don’t have tahini or don’t like the taste, you can use almond butter or sunflower seed butter. The flavor will change a bit, but it’ll still be creamy and keto-friendly. Try to avoid peanut butter since it can overpower the other flavors.
