Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
