With these DIY Daily Harvest Smoothies, you can fill your freezer with smoothie prep that can be used for busy mornings or when you just don’t feel like making a meal. Also, this Avocado and Cacao smoothie comes in at 8g carbs, which means it can be used as part of a low-carb or keto diet. Yay!
Listen, if you drive a Ferrari, I’m sure the Daily Harvest Subscription is totally great, but for those of us who don’t want to drop $250 a month on smoothies, this is a great technique for using the idea of pre-made cups of fruit to achieve your healthy meal prep goals.
Recipe Ingredients:
2 zucchini, diced
1 1/2 avocados, peeled and diced
5 T pumpkin seeds (aka pepitas)
2 medjool dates, pitted and diced
5 T. Raw Cacao Nibs
3 T. Coconut Manna
2 T. vanilla protein powder (I used Warrior Food brand)
1/2 oz. Cacao Powder (or Cocoa Powder is fine)
1 t. salt
5 packages of stevia
5 disposable coffee cups with lids
Dice all of the veggies (avocado, zucchini, and dates) and reserve for assembly. Lay out the 5 cups and have 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon set aside for measuring.
In each cup separate the zucchini evenly among the cups, the avocado evenly, and the dates evenly among all the cups.
In each cup place 1 T cacao nibs, 1 3/4 t. coconut manna, 1 package of stevia, 1 pinch of salt, 2-3 shakes of cacao powder (or you can use cocoa powder), and a heaping teaspoon of vanilla protein powder into each cup.
Place the lids on the cups and put them in the freezer.
To prepare a smoothie take the cup out of the freezer. Fill with the milk of your choice (milk is not included in my nutritional macro-nutrients and should be logged separately.) Pour the entire contents of the cup into a blender and blend for 1 min. (You can blend longer if you think it needs it.) Pour the smoothie back into a cup and enjoy!
Notes:
I use 2 stevia packets in my smoothie, but have put 1 in the recipe so you can experiment on your own. You can also use sweet drops, erythritol, or honey if that is your preferred sweetener.
(We calculated this recipe by weighing out the individual ingredients in an Avocado and Cacao Smoothie and measuring them with teaspoons and tablespoons. Because we altered them from measuring by weight to measuring by volume, they are not exact. Just do your best to fill the cups evenly.)

Fine Print: I am not a doctor or dietitian and cannot give health advice. The nutritional information here is provided by an app called Carb Manager which many people use to estimate the macronutrient values in a recipe. This is an estimate, and if you have health issues you should discuss new recipes with a doctor to confirm whether or not they are right for your diet. I provide the nutrient calculations that I got merely as a preview for you to do your own research.
I am not a Daily Harvest employee, this is a Copycat recipe that we developed to be similar to their avocado smoothie.
