Share this blog:

Looking for a refreshing and healthy way to cool down? You might want to try a strawberries and cream smoothie. This creamy treat is both delicious and easy to make, perfect for a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack.

What makes this smoothie extra special? It’s packed with juicy strawberries and a touch of creamy goodness, all without any dairy. You’ll love how the natural sweetness of the strawberries shines through, complemented by the rich texture from plant-based ingredients.

Preparing The Ingredients

Get ready to make a tasty vegan smoothie. You need fresh strawberries, plant-based yogurt, and some ice. Make sure your strawberries are ripe and sweet. A bit of vanilla extract can add a nice touch.

Clean the strawberries well and remove the stems. Slice them in half to make blending easier. For the best flavor, you can chill them in the fridge for a bit.

Pick a plant-based yogurt that you like. Almond or coconut yogurt works great. Measure about a cup of yogurt to keep it creamy and thick.

You can sweeten your smoothie if you want. Use a little maple syrup or agave nectar for extra sweetness. Adjust based on how sweet you like it.

If you want it extra chilly, grab a handful of ice cubes. This will also make your smoothie a bit thicker. Don’t forget the vanilla extract—a small splash will do!

Now that your ingredients are ready, you’re all set to blend!

Variations To Try

• With berries: You could try adding a handful of blueberries to your smoothie. They blend well and add a touch of tartness.
• With protein: Another idea is to include a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder. It makes the smoothie more filling and gives you an energy boost.
• With nut butter: If you like nutty flavors, add a tablespoon of almond butter. It makes the smoothie rich and creamy. For a tropical twist, add some coconut milk instead of almond milk. You’ll feel like you’re on a beach vacation.
• With greens: For a touch of green, try adding a handful of spinach. It won’t change the taste much, but it will give your smoothie a nice nutrient kick.
• With seeds: Lastly, sprinkle some chia seeds on top before blending. They add a bit of crunch and also some healthy omega-3s.

Storage Tips

• To keep your vegan strawberries and cream smoothie fresh, store it in an airtight container. This prevents it from absorbing any fridge odors.
• Make sure your container is the right size for your smoothie amount. You don’t want too much air inside, as it might affect the taste.
• Keep the smoothie in the fridge if you plan to drink it soon. It’s best to enjoy it within a day to keep the flavors vibrant.
• If you want to store it longer, you can freeze your smoothie. Use a freezer-safe container and leave a little space at the top, as the liquid might expand.
• When you’re ready to drink it, move the smoothie to the fridge to thaw. Give it a good shake before sipping.
