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 and remove their stems to ensure they are clean and ready for blending.
- Prepare the avocado: Halve the ripe avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh carefully with a spoon.
- Combine ingredients: Place the almond milk, strawberries, and avocado into a blender for mixing.
- Blend to smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is evenly blended.
- Add sweetness: Add the maple syrup to the blender and blend again briefly to incorporate the sweetness evenly throughout the smoothie.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk a little at a time and blend until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve chilled for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability; frozen strawberries will make the smoothie colder and thicker.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted to taste or substituted with honey or agave nectar for similar sweetness.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or some Greek yogurt, though this will alter the nutrition profile.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
