Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium orange, peeled
Liquids
- ¾-1 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more to thin if necessary
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the fruits—frozen strawberries, ripe banana, and peeled orange—and measure the almond milk. Using frozen fruit helps achieve a chilled and thick texture.
- Blend the Smoothie: Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again to reach the desired texture.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into two glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness. Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 24 hours.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or regular milk according to preference.
- For added protein, consider adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder.
- If the smoothie is not sweet enough, a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup can be added.
- This recipe serves 2. To make a smaller portion, simply halve the ingredient quantities.
- Using frozen fruit gives the smoothie a thick, cold texture without needing ice.
