Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 banana
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions:

1. Start by gathering all your fresh ingredients on the countertop. Take in the sweet aroma of the strawberries and the nutty scent of almond butter – it’s a harmonious start to your blend.
2. Place the strawberries, almond milk, banana, almond butter, honey (if using), and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
3. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until your desired consistency is achieved.
4. Pour the smoothie into glasses, and if you like, garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim or a sprinkle of crushed almonds on top.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• If you’re out of fresh strawberries, frozen ones work just as well and give the smoothie an extra chill.
• For a dairy-free variation, you can substitute almond milk with oat milk or any other plant-based milk.
• For an added twist, include a handful of spinach – it blends right in without altering the delightful taste, and adds a nutrition boost!

Storage and Substitutions:

• Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Shake well before serving as it might naturally separate.
• If you need a nut-free option, replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter and almond milk with rice milk.

Pairings and Complements:

This Strawberry Almond Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a light breakfast or snack. Try it alongside a slice of whole-grain toast topped with avocado, or enjoy it with a handful of mixed nuts for a balanced treat. It also complements a fresh fruit salad or homemade granola bars.
