Creamy Spring Green Strawberry Smoothie

I love smoothies that are light, delicious, and packed with nutrients — just like this one! Often I put most of the ingredients that I used in this smoothie into the juicer, but every once in a while (like today) I decided to blend them, and I’m so happy that I did. The strawberries add vitamin C and a sweet flavor (see more benefits of strawberries!), and avocado adds a creamy texture along with healthy anti-inflammatory fats. Finally to top off the smoothie, lots of greens are added that are packed with iron and B vitamins as well as antioxidants and other powerful nutrients. Add vegan protein powder to this smoothie to make it a good meal replacement.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 large strawberries, cut into 1-2 inch pieces and tops removed
  • 1 handful spinach
  • ½ avocado
  • 1 small head of broccoli (about 4 florets), chopped into smaller pieces
  • 8 – 10 oz  (250 – 300 ml) unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)

Directions

  1. Wash all produce well.
  2. Add ingredients to blender and blend on medium/high speed for 45-60 seconds or until smoothie is well blended.
  3. Serve and enjoy!
