Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 medium banana
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for extra kick
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, to taste

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients (frozen strawberries, banana, almond milk, yogurt, chia seeds, ginger, and cayenne) in a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 45-60 seconds.
  3. Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, then blend briefly to combine.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid; for a thinner consistency, add more milk.
If you don’t have frozen strawberries, use fresh ones and add 1/2 cup of ice to the blender.
The cayenne pepper is what gives this smoothie its "revving" effect, but start with a tiny pinch if you are sensitive to spice.
