Notes
- Customize Your Sweetness: This smoothie uses the natural sweetness of fruit, but if you prefer a sweeter blend, add a small amount of honey, agave, or a banana.
- Vegan Option: Replace non-fat yogurt with a plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond yogurt) to make this recipe 100% vegan.
- Make It a Meal: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, or a tablespoon of nut butter to turn it into a meal replacement or post-workout smoothie.
- Texture Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of coconut water or almond milk. For a thicker texture, add more frozen strawberries or ice.
- Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. However, you can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
