Instructions:

- If desired, garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass or a sprinkle of granola on top for a bit of crunch.
Tips:
- Use fresh organic strawberries to enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your smoothie.
- For a thicker consistency, freeze the strawberries beforehand or use frozen strawberries directly.
- Opt for a plant-based milk alternative like almond or soy milk if you're lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of sugar or using natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach for an extra boost of nutrition.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass and garnish with a strawberry slice or a sprinkle of granola for a touch of extra flair.
