Ingredients
Fruits
- 12 ounces frozen strawberries
- Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup, freshly squeezed)
Liquids
- 1 1/4 cups milk of choice (such as almond milk for Paleo or oat milk for Gluten-free)
Sweeteners and Seasonings
- 5 tablespoons liquid sweetener (maple syrup or agave)
- Pinch of sea salt or potassium salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 12 ounces of frozen strawberries, fresh lemon juice from one large lemon, 1 1/4 cups of your preferred plant-based milk, 5 tablespoons of liquid sweetener, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the frozen strawberries in the blender first, then add the lemon juice, plant-based milk, liquid sweetener, and salt on top.
- Blend Smooth: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed until smooth. If the mixture is too thick and creates air bubbles near the blades, stop blending and use a spatula to push the mixture down. Then blend again until creamy and well mixed.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately and enjoy this refreshing, tart, and creamy treat.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best tartness and flavor.
- Choose clean, additive-free plant-based milks such as natural almond or oat milk brands.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or agave.
- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a bit more milk.
- This smoothie serves 2 and is perfect as a healthy snack or dessert.
