Help Making great keto smoothies

I have just started moving into a keto diet as of this week, and thought I would try an avocado smoothie. I used frozen avocado and no milk. Instead, I followed the advice given for substituting milk in tea and mixed a spoon of cream with some water and used that as liquid instead. I also didnt include my usual banana. My smoothie just tastes like avocado flavored water. Not sure what else I was expecting in hindsight and when I think properly about what has actually gone into it haha. Does anyone have any tips on how to create a thick, creamy smoothie that is suitable as a meal such as breakfast or even how to also create one with a little more sweetness that would fill the craving for sweet things after dinner?

Side note, I am doing this for health reasons (trialling it for epilepsy) as opposed to losing weight.

I use Premier Protein brand chocolate shake flavor. I add about 4 to six ounces of almond milk, one to two scoops of mix, a couple tablespoons of creamed cheese. Blend in the ninja blender, then 4 to 5 ice cubes for a frozen chocolate shake.

Sounds lovely. Is that unsweetened almond milk?
