Can I use almond milk instead of coconut milk?

Sure, but keep in mind that you’ll lose some of that tropical richness, as well as a little of the healthy fat content from coconut milk. If you’re going for almond milk, make sure it’s unsweetened to stay keto-friendly.

What if I don’t have MCT oil?

You can use coconut oil instead, though MCT oil tends to blend more easily and doesn’t harden at cooler temperatures. Either option is great for keto, so feel free to use whichever you have on hand.

Can I prep this smoothie ahead of time?

While you can blend it and refrigerate it for up to a day, this smoothie is definitely best enjoyed fresh. If you want to save time, measure out your dry ingredients (like matcha powder and chia seeds) in advance, so you can just toss everything in the blender in the morning.
