Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe avocado
Liquids
- 2 cups almond milk
Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and remove their stems to ensure a clean and fresh base for the smoothie.
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, carefully remove the pit, then scoop out the creamy flesh using a spoon.
- Combine ingredients: Place the almond milk, strawberries, and avocado into a blender, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed for smooth blending.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until fully smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender jar to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Add sweetener: Pour in the maple syrup according to your preferred sweetness and blend again briefly to combine the flavors.
- Adjust thickness: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add extra almond milk a little at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve chilled: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately to enjoy its fresh, creamy texture and vibrant flavor chilled.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh to create a colder, ice-cream-like texture without adding ice.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
- Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
- To keep the smoothie creamier and richer, use full-fat almond milk or other nut milks like cashew milk.
- If you want a thinner smoothie, add more almond milk gradually until it reaches your ideal consistency.
