Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to blend smoothly.
Measure one cup of strawberries. If using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems. If using frozen berries, ensure they are not clumped together.
In a blender, combine the banana pieces, strawberries, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Add the chia seeds for extra nutritional value and a slight thickness.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stop the blender and taste the smoothie. Adjust the flavor if needed by adding more strawberries for sweetness or more almond milk for a thinner consistency.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the freshness.
