Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 0.5 medium ripe avocado pitted and flesh scooped out
  • 1.5 cups frozen strawberries no need to thaw
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat for creamiest texture
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup or to taste
  • 0.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1/4 lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup ice optional, for extra thickness
For Garnish
  • 2 fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 tsp chia seeds or hemp hearts optional

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

Blend
  1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh directly into your blender. Use a ripe avocado that yields gently to pressure for the creamiest texture.
  2. Add frozen strawberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla to the blender. If you want a thicker, frostier smoothie, add the ice now.
  3. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and no strawberry seeds remain visible. Stop and scrape down the sides once if needed. The smoothie should be thick but pourable with a vibrant pink color.
  4. Taste the smoothie. Add more honey if your strawberries were tart, or a splash more milk if too thick. Blend 10 seconds more to incorporate any additions.
  5. Pour into two glasses. Top with sliced fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of chia seeds or hemp hearts if desired. Serve with a wide straw or spoon.

Notes

Frozen strawberries are essential here - fresh ones will make a thin, watery smoothie. The lemon juice might seem odd, but it brightens the strawberry flavor and keeps the avocado from tasting flat. For a make-ahead option, prep smoothie packs: combine avocado, strawberries, and lemon juice in freezer bags. When ready to blend, dump into the blender with milk and yogurt.
