Ingredients
Servings
Quantities update as you change servings — treat scaled amounts as a guide, not an exact measure.
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ banana
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: ice, 1 scoop protein powder
Method
- 1 Add the frozen strawberries, chia seeds, almond milk, banana, almond butter and vanilla extract to a blender.
- 2 Blend on high for 45–60 seconds, stopping once to scrape down the sides, until completely smooth and creamy with no visible strawberry seeds clumped together.
- 3 Taste and thin with a little more almond milk if it's too thick to drink comfortably — chia seeds continue to swell after blending, so it will thicken further as it sits.
- 4 Serve straight away for the best texture.
