Notes
- Protein Boost: To add more protein to your smoothie, consider adding a scoop of protein powder (such as vanilla or unflavored) or a tablespoon of nut butter (like almond or peanut butter).
- Sweeteners: If your strawberries are not sweet, you may need to adjust the smoothie's sweetness. Instead of honey or maple syrup, you can use Medjool dates, stevia, or a splash of fruit juice.
- Garnishes: Get creative with garnishes! You can top your smoothie with shredded coconut, sliced almonds, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a few chocolate chips for an extra treat.
- Chilling: If you have time, chill your smoothie ingredients in the fridge before blending. This will result in a colder and more refreshing smoothie.
