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 under cold running water and remove their stems to ensure they are clean and ready for blending.
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit carefully, and scoop out the flesh using a spoon to add creaminess to the smoothie.
- Combine ingredients: Place the almond milk, strawberries, and avocado into the blender to start creating the smoothie base.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add maple syrup: Pour in the maple syrup and blend again briefly to evenly distribute the sweetness throughout the smoothie.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend once more until you achieve the desired thickness.
- Serve chilled: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best fresh taste and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, colder smoothie without needing ice.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your preferred sweetness level or substitute with honey or agave syrup if desired.
- You can add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutritional boost without altering the flavor significantly.
- To make it creamier, use full-fat almond milk or add a spoonful of nut butter.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture since avocado may oxidize and darken over time.
