The trouble with smoothies is that they’re typically lacking in the fat department, making them delicious but not exactly fueling our energy while in ketosis. The solution? Throw avocado into any smoothie for some good, healthy, filling fats. This ginger basil avocado smoothie is not only a good source of fuel, but it’s also delicious!

I felt very refreshed after drinking this smoothie. Basil and ginger are superfoods, and so good for detoxing.
