Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
Nutritional Boosters:
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Combine strawberries, spinach, yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, and ice cubes into a high-powered blender, ensuring all ingredients are properly measured and ready.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and activate the highest speed setting, processing the mixture until a completely uniform and silky texture is achieved, approximately 45-60 seconds.
- Pause the blender and inspect the smoothie, ensuring no visible chunks remain and the consistency is thoroughly homogeneous.
- Select a chilled serving glass and carefully pour the vibrant crimson smoothie, allowing the mixture to cascade smoothly without splashing.
- For optimal nutritional benefits and flavor profile, consume the smoothie immediately after preparation, savoring the fresh, crisp blend of nutrients and refreshing strawberry essence.
Notes
- Swap frozen strawberries for fresh ones to create a thicker, more refreshing texture without compromising nutritional value.
- Include a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost without significantly altering the delicious strawberry flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a low-calorie alternative that keeps the fat-burning potential intact.
- Experiment with different protein powders like whey, plant-based, or collagen to customize the smoothie’s protein profile and support metabolism.
