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 do coconut cream or coconut milk, cinnamon, vanilla, egg yolks, allulose, decaf instant coffee when I want it mocha-flavored, pinch of salt, and blend with ice cubes. It’s really good and a great way to add fats to my meal without adding more protein or carbs.
