I could use some help please. I am trying the high fat low carb diet. I'm not good with eating veggies. I like broccoli, collard greens. My question is can I eat my green veggies like kale and other veggies in smoothie form? I know I'm not supposed to eat alot of fruit so I dont know how this will work. Please help.

I'm trying to think of what you could mix your smoothies with that would be 0/low carb - because ground up kale and almond milk sounds pretty bad!
I'm not very creative with smoothies though. If you're asking about juicing them though-I'd think it's a no, just because the fiber is removed and you need to ingest the fiber along with the food to avoid glucose spikes. Don't forget you can use cheeses (in moderation-check the carb count) and full fat butter/cream, broths, etc - which might make some veggies taste better to you. 0 -
I sometimes like to eat my kale by adding it to soup just before I'm about to eat it. That way it still has a bit of crunch but is wilted enough to be easier to eat.0

I freeze kale. I'm doing keto. I throw it in a blender with 2 strawberries. Some cucumber. Heavy cream stevia and cinnamon. Then water and crushed ice. Sometimes a tablespoon of peanut butter I just mix things up everyday. I'm not a fan of veggies so the smoothie works for me.1
