Ingredients

  • 1 large Ripe Banana with brown spots for sweetness
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries washed and hulled
  • 1 cup Almond Milk or any milk of choice
  • Optional: 3-4 Ice cubes for extra chill

Instructions

  • Prepare: Wash strawberries and remove stems. Peel the banana and break it into chunks.
  • Blend: Add fruit and milk into the blender.
  • Process: Blend for 30-40 seconds until perfectly silky and creamy.
  • Serve: Pour into a glass and drink immediately while fresh!

Notes

  • Choose Overripe Bananas: For the best natural sweetness without adding sugar, use bananas that have plenty of small brown spots on the skin. They are creamier and much sweeter!
  • Frozen Fruit for Texture: If you prefer a thicker, milkshake-like consistency, use frozen strawberries or freeze your banana chunks for an hour before blending.
  • The Golden Blending Rule: Always add your liquid (milk) first. This helps the blender blades move freely and prevents the fruit from getting stuck at the bottom.
  • Serve Immediately: Fresh fruit smoothies can oxidize and lose their vibrant color and texture if left out. For the best flavor and maximum nutrients, drink it right after blending.
  • Adjust to Your Taste: If the smoothie feels too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it more refreshing, toss in 2-3 extra ice cubes.
