Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 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 running water and remove the stems to ensure only the edible fruit is used.
- 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, cleaned strawberries, and scooped avocado flesh into a blender pitcher.
- Blend ingredients: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Add maple syrup: Pour in the maple syrup and blend again to mix the sweetness thoroughly throughout the smoothie.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add extra almond milk a little at a time and blend until the desired thickness is achieved.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses, serve chilled, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries instead of ice to keep the smoothie cold without diluting the flavor.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level or omit for natural sweetness only.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
