- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe avocado

- 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: Halve the ripe avocado carefully, remove the pit, and scoop out the creamy flesh with a spoon.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the almond milk, strawberries, and avocado flesh into the blender jar.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
- Add Sweetener: Pour in the maple syrup, then blend again briefly to incorporate the sweetness evenly throughout the smoothie.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of your smoothie; if it’s too thick, add more almond milk a little at a time and blend to reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for a brighter taste, or frozen strawberries to make the smoothie extra cold and thick.
- Ripe avocados provide creaminess and healthy fats but ensure they are not overripe or underripe for best texture.
- Adjust the maple syrup quantity to your preferred level of sweetness or substitute with honey or agave syrup if desired.
- This smoothie can be made vegan and dairy-free by using almond milk or other plant-based milk alternatives.
- For an added protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy texture.
