Notes

Tips:
1. Always use fresh strawberries for a natural and vibrant flavor.
2. For a thicker consistency, you can add more banana or reduce the almond milk.
3. Chia seeds not only offer a nutritional boost but give a lovely texture to the smoothie. Ensure they blend well.
4. You can swap almond milk with other plant-based milk like soy or oat, depending on your preference.
Serving Suggestions:
- This smoothie can be enjoyed as it is, but you can always elevate its presentation with a strawberry slice on the rim of the glass.
- Consider sprinkling a few chia seeds on top or adding a mint leaf for an aesthetic touch.
- Pairing this with a light snack or some nuts can make it a more fulfilling treat.
