Creamy Strawberry-Avocado Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen strawberries (frozen makes it thicker)

  • ½ Ripe avocado (pitted and peeled)

  • 1 Medium banana (best if sliced and frozen)

  • 1 cup Milk of your choice (Almond, Oat, or Dairy work great)

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (for extra protein and tang)

  • 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on fruit sweetness)

  • Optional: A splash of lime juice to brighten the flavors.

Instructions

  1. Layer it up: Add your liquid base (milk) to the blender first. This helps the blades move more easily and prevents the fruit from getting stuck.

  2. Add the “creamy” factors: Drop in the avocado and Greek yogurt.

  3. The fruit: Add the strawberries and banana on top.

  4. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches that vibrant pink hue.

  5. Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.

Pro-Tips for the Best Results

  • The Look: If you want to replicate the photo, use very bright red strawberries.

  • Natural Sweetness: Use a “spotted” brown banana for the most natural sweetness so you can skip the added sugar or honey.

  • Texture: Avocado can be quite heavy. If the smoothie feels too dense, a squeeze of lime juice cuts through the richness beautifully.
