Looking for a refreshing way to kick-start your day? This strawberry avocado smoothie is perfect for a quick breakfast or a mid-afternoon boost. With just a few wholesome ingredients, you can blend a creamy and nutritious drink that tastes like a treat but fuels you with vitamins and minerals.

Feeling adventurous? You can easily customize this smoothie with your favorite plant-based milk or a handful of spinach for extra greens. It’s a flexible recipe that adapts to your taste, ensuring you never get bored of sipping on this delightful drink.

Preparing The Ingredients

To make this tasty smoothie, you need a few simple ingredients. You’ll need fresh or frozen strawberries, a ripe avocado, almond milk, and a bit of maple syrup for sweetness.

First, wash the strawberries and remove their stems. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the creamy flesh.

Now, get your blender ready. Pour the almond milk into the blender first. This will help blend everything smoothly. Add the strawberries and avocado next.

Turn your blender on and mix everything until it’s smooth. You might need to stop and scrape the sides so everything blends evenly. If you like it a bit sweeter, add some maple syrup and blend again.

Your smoothie should be creamy and thick. If you want it thinner, add a splash more almond milk. Pour it into a glass and enjoy your refreshing drink.

Variations To Try

• With different fruits: Adding different fruits can change the taste and texture. Consider tossing in a handful of blueberries or mango chunks.
• With pineapple: For a tropical twist, use pineapple. It brightens the smoothie with a sweet and tangy flavor. Pair it with a splash of coconut milk for an even creamier texture.
• With greens: Want some extra greens? Blend in a small bunch of spinach or kale. It adds nutrients and a subtle green tint to your smoothie, all while keeping the taste delicious.
• With cocoa: Craving a chocolate boost? Stir in a spoonful of cocoa powder. It pairs surprisingly well with strawberries and avocados, creating a rich and satisfying treat.
• With protein: For a protein hit, try adding a scoop of protein powder. Choose vanilla or strawberry-flavored to keep the fruity vibes going. This makes your smoothie a great post-workout snack.
• With seeds: If you like a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chia seeds or flaxseeds into your smoothie. They’re not only tasty but also bring fiber and healthy fats to your blend.
• With sweeteners: Think about enhancing sweetness without added sugars. A drizzle of maple syrup or a few dates mixed in can add natural sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor.
• With different kinds of milk: Experiment with different kinds of milk, like almond milk or oat milk, for another layer of taste and creaminess. Each choice affects the texture and flavor slightly, catering to your personal preference.

Storage Tips

You made a tasty vegan strawberry avocado smoothie and now you’re thinking about leftovers. Good call!

• If you have extra smoothie, pouring it into an airtight container keeps it fresh. The fridge works for storing it for about a day or two.
• Don’t have a container? Try a mason jar with a tight lid. Make sure to leave a little space at the top. This way, if the smoothie expands, it won’t overflow.
• For longer storage, use your freezer. Pour your smoothie into ice cube trays or small jars. This lets you use small portions later without thawing the whole batch. When you’re ready, just blend the frozen cubes with a little plant milk. Your smoothie will taste freshly made!
• Remember not to leave the smoothie out for too long. The longer it sits at room temperature, the more it loses its freshness and might change in taste or texture.
• When you’re using frozen smoothie portions, be sure they’re smooth and creamy by blending them thoroughly. Freezing may alter the texture, but a good blend brings it back to life. Enjoy every sip!
