Scale
Fruits & Dairy
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
Liquids & Flavorings
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Place the strawberries, avocado, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup into a blender.
- Add ice cubes: Add the ice cubes last to keep the smoothie chilled and to help create a refreshing texture.
- Blend the mixture: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if you desire a sweeter flavor.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt or increase the amount of almond milk.
- Add a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without altering the flavor much.
- Include a scoop of protein powder to make the smoothie more protein-rich.
- Fresh strawberries provide a brighter flavor, while frozen strawberries give a thicker texture.
