Strawberry smoothie FAQ:
Blend the smoothie on a low setting, gradually increasing to high for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. If necessary, blend longer for finer consistency.
Yes, but you'll need to add ice to achieve a similar texture and chill. Frozen strawberries make the smoothie colder and thicker without extra ice.
You can use regular yogurt, a dairy-free yogurt, or cottage cheese. Each might slightly alter the flavor and texture.
Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir or blend again before consuming as separation may occur.
If your smoothie is too thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
Tips:
- Ensure your strawberries are fully frozen for a thicker consistency.
- Use plain Greek yogurt to control the sweetness and add a bit of honey or a natural sweetener if desired.
- Soak the almonds in water overnight to soften them for a smoother texture, or use almond butter as a convenient alternative.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use almond milk instead of dairy milk.
- Blend the oatmeal first into a fine powder before adding the other ingredients if you prefer a smoother texture without any graininess.
