Ingredients:
To make this smoothie, you’ll need the following ingredients:
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries 🍓
1/2 cup Granola Girl granola (your choice of flavor) 🌾
1 banana (for natural sweetness) 🍌
1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or your favorite) 🥛
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added protein and fiber) 🌱
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave (optional, for extra sweetness) 🍯
A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie) ❄️
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: If you’re using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems. If you're using frozen strawberries, there's no need to thaw them – they’ll add a lovely chill to your smoothie!
Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the strawberries, banana, plant-based milk, and chia seeds (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the Granola: Once the base is blended, add 1/2 cup of Granola Girl granola. Blend again briefly, just to mix the granola evenly into the smoothie. This adds a delightful crunch and boosts the protein content.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste your smoothie. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or agave and blend again.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour your smoothie into a glass, top with a sprinkle of Granola Girl granola for extra crunch, and enjoy immediately! This smoothie is best served fresh, but you can also refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
Tips for a Perfect Smoothie:
For a Thicker Smoothie: Use frozen strawberries and add ice cubes. This creates a thick, creamy texture that’s perfect for a smoothie bowl.
For Extra Protein: Add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder. This is great for a post-workout boost!
Customize Your Smoothie: Feel free to add other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or mango for a unique twist. The possibilities are endless!
