Instructions
-
Prep the Base:Â Place your milk and Greek yogurt into the blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blades spin more freely.
-
Add the Stars:Â 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:Â 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:Â 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.
