Fruits
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 banana
Liquids
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Prepare the fruits: Wash the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Remove the hulls from the strawberries. Peel the banana and cut into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the strawberries, blueberries, banana, and unsweetened almond milk. Add the ground flaxseed and honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Blend the smoothie: Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, making sure the flaxseed is well incorporated and no chunks of fruit remain.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. You can also add ice before blending if you prefer a colder smoothie.
Notes
- Substitute any type of milk based on dietary preference, such as soy, oat, or cow’s milk.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste by adding more or less honey or maple syrup, or omit altogether for a naturally sweet smoothie.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or Greek yogurt.
- Ground flaxseed should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
