Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon date syrup
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 banana (sliced)
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries

Instructions

  • Put unsweetened almond milk, date syrup, hemp seeds, banana, and frozen strawberries into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
  • Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you don't want to use almond milk, try soy, oat, or dairy milk.
  • Feel free to use frozen banana and fresh strawberries. The combination will create a similar flavor.
  • If freezing your own strawberries, cut them in half or slices first. It will be easier for your blender to puree cut frozen strawberries.
  • For a thicker drink, add a few extra frozen strawberries to the blender before pureeing. You can also use a few ice cubes.
  • To thin your smoothie, add a splash of milk and blend for 10 seconds to combine.
  • Omit the date syrup for a less sweet smoothie.
  • Keep leftover smoothie in an airtight container, like a glass jar. Drink it within 1 or 2 days for the best flavor and texture.
