Ingredients

Fresh strawberries - 1 cup 150g
Chia seeds - 2 tablespoons 30g
Almond milk unsweetened - 1 cup (240ml)
Banana - 1 ripe
Honey or agave syrup optional - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
Ice cubes - 1/2 cup optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps:
Start by washing the fresh strawberries thoroughly and removing the green tops.
In your blender, add the strawberries, ripe banana, and almond milk.
Add chia seeds to the mix, ensuring even distribution for a smoother blend.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, incorporate the honey or agave syrup.
For a chilled smoothie, throw in the ice cubes.
Blend everything together for 2-3 minutes or until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Pour your smoothie into a glass, and voila! It's ready to be savored.

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.
