Strawberry smoothie

Step by Step

In a powerful blender, add almond milk, banana, flaxseed and frozen strawberries in the exact order.

Blend until smooth. Serve within a few hours.

Make ahead: Because of flaxseed (chia) strawberry smoothie holds its consistency well for hours, making it perfect for a brunch.
Dairy milk: Substituting almond milk with cow’s milk makes smoothie taste more like a milkshake.
Other plant based milk: Use any of your favorite milk instead of almond. Sweetened milk makes smoothie sweeter.
Yogurt: Yogurt adds protein but make smoothie more tangy. You have to try my mom’s strawberry yogurt another time! If you would like to replace milk with mostly yogurt in this smoothie, start with 1 cup yogurt and 1/2 cup almond milk. Adjust consistency with more milk. Can also try kefir.
Fresh strawberries: If you use fresh strawberries, try to use frozen banana or other frozen fruit. It will help keep the smoothie of thicker consistency rather than flavored juice.
Frozen banana: Feel free to use it but might have to adjust thickness of drink with more milk or water.
