Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe avocado
Dairy Alternatives
- 2 cups almond milk
Sweeteners
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove their stems to ensure they’re clean and ready for blending.
- Prepare Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, carefully remove the pit, and scoop out the smooth flesh to add creaminess to the smoothie.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add almond milk, strawberries, and avocado to start forming the smoothie base.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even blending.
- Add Sweetener: Pour in the maple syrup and blend again briefly to mix in the sweetness evenly throughout the smoothie.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of the smoothie and add more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Blend again if additional milk is added.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses, serve chilled, and enjoy this delicious and healthy treat immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries to make the smoothie colder without adding ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level or substitute with honey or agave syrup.
- For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter.
- This smoothie is vegan and gluten-free, making it suitable for various dietary preferences.
- Consume immediately for the best flavor and texture, as avocado may oxidize and change color if left out too long.
