Creamy Strawberry Avocado Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
| Item | Amount |
| Frozen Strawberries | 1 ½ cups |
| Ripe Avocado | ½ medium (pitted and peeled) |
| Milk of choice | 1 cup (dairy, almond, or oat) |
| Greek Yogurt | ¼ cup (for extra protein and tang) |
| Honey or Maple Syrup | 1–2 tsp (optional, to taste) |
| Vanilla Extract | ¼ tsp |
Instructions
-
Prep the Base: Place your milk and Greek yogurt into the blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blades spin more freely.
-
Add the Stars: Scoop in the avocado and add the frozen strawberries. If you are using fresh strawberries, add a handful of ice cubes to get that chilled, thick consistency.
-
Sweeten: Add your sweetener of choice and the vanilla extract.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and pale pink.
-
Serve: Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh strawberry slices, just like the picture!
A Quick Tip for Success
The Avocado Secret: Make sure your avocado is perfectly ripe (it should give slightly when pressed). If it’s underripe, it won’t blend as smoothly and may have a slightly “grassy” taste.
