I love this smoothie for a snack during busy mornings, or adding some protein powder to it for more staying power to serve as a breakfast. It’s the perfect smoothie with simple and nutrient dense ingredients to enjoy all summer long if you ask me! Craving more recipes with strawberries?

Kiwi: using a ripe kiwi is best to give the smoothie a sweeter taste and so it blends nicely into the smoothie. I bought my kiwis from Sprouts because I love shopping their variety of tropical items. They have a ton of tropical produce that is great for adding into smoothies – you’ll be sure to discover new produce while you’re shopping! Strawberries: I recommend using frozen strawberries to help keep the smoothie thick. Fresh strawberries can work but the smoothie won’t be as thick. Frozen fruit is really key to a thick and luscious smoothie! Frozen Banana: a ripe banana that’s been frozen adds the perfect amount of sweetness and once again, frozen fruit makes this smoothie perfectly thick! Yogurt: use your favorite yogurt. I used a coconut vanilla yogurt in my smoothie! Any Greek yogurt or even a strawberry yogurt would be delicious too. Almond milk (or milk of choice): Feel free to use any milk you’d like. I love vanilla unsweetened almond milk, but coconut milk would also add more of a tropical and creamy texture! Adding regular milk will give you a little more protein. Smoothie tip: smoothies need a perfect blend of liquid and solid ingredients to achieve the right texture. I like a thick smoothie! If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more milk. Ripe avocado: adding avocado is ideal for adding a creamy consistency to smoothies. It’s mild in flavor but bursting with healthy fats.
