Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe avocado
Liquids
- 2 cups almond milk
Sweeteners
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under running water and remove their stems to ensure they are clean and ready for blending.
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and use a spoon to scoop out the creamy flesh from the skin.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the almond milk, strawberries, and avocado into a blender, setting the base for your smoothie.
- Blend to Smoothness: Blend all the ingredients until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even blending.
- Add Sweetness: Pour in the maple syrup to taste and blend the mixture again to combine the sweetness evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk gradually to reach your desired consistency and blend briefly again.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve chilled for a refreshing and nutritious treat.
Notes
- Frozen strawberries can be used instead of fresh for a colder smoothie and a thicker texture.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your sweetness preference or substitute with honey if preferred.
- To make it vegan, ensure the maple syrup is certified vegan if concerned about honey alternatives.
- Add a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without altering the flavor significantly.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
