Avocado Strawberry Smoothie with Almond Milk
Taste
Thick and creamy like a shake, clearly strawberry, with a mild nutty background.
About this smoothie
Strawberries and avocado sound like an odd pair, but in a blender they work very well: the avocado provides body and a velvety mouthfeel without dominating, and the frozen strawberries bring sweetness, acidity and a frosty temperature. Almond milk is mild, lightly nutty and keeps the recipe free of dairy. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, avocados contribute fibre and mostly unsaturated fats. A good breakfast that keeps you going for a while.
Bartender tips
If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add almond milk a tablespoon at a time.
Unsweetened almond milk keeps the flavour clean; the ripe fruit brings enough sweetness.
Variations
With banana
Add half a banana for a sweeter, even creamier version.
