Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Servings: 1
This strawberry banana smoothie with almond milk tastes like a classic shake, while hidden cauliflower and two tablespoons of chia make it extra creamy with 17g fiber. No added sugar, and kids never spot the cauliflower.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries frozen
- 1 ½ banana
- 1 cup almond milk
Fiber Boost (optional)
- ¼ cup cauliflower frozen
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into a blender. Add the strawberries and banana and blend until creamy.
- If using, add the cauliflower and chia seeds and blend again until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Protein Boost: Add 1 serving of homemade protein powder or another plant-based protein powder to keep it vegan.
- Make It Thicker: For a thicker, colder smoothie, freeze the banana too.
- Make It Sweeter: Add 1 or 2 pitted dates, or swap half the almond milk for coconut water.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The chia seeds will thicken it, so shake and add a splash of almond milk before drinking.
