Ingredients
Scale
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 ripe banana
1/2 cup baby spinach
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
Step 1: Gather all listed ingredients and ensure frozen strawberries are ready to use. If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them, then consider adding a few ice cubes for a colder drink.
Step 2: Carefully add the frozen strawberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, rolled oats, chia seeds, ripe banana, baby spinach, and alcohol-free vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
Step 3: Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks of fruit or spinach.
Step 4: Taste the drink and adjust consistency or sweetness if desired. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if not sweet enough, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup and blend again briefly.
Step 5: Pour the healthy strawberry breakfast drink into a glass. Serve immediately to enjoy its fresh, cool, and creamy texture.
Notes
Enjoy this vibrant drink immediately for the freshest, coolest texture. If you have any leftovers, pop them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; it will thicken significantly due to the oats and chia, so a splash of extra almond milk and a good stir will refresh it perfectly.
For an extra touch of elegance and nutrition, try garnishing your glass with a few fresh strawberry slices, a sprinkle of toasted rolled oats, or a vibrant sprig of mint before serving. It elevates both the look and the experience!
The ripeness of your banana truly impacts the final taste and creaminess; aim for one with a few brown spots for optimal natural sweetness and a luxuriously smooth texture.
Don't hesitate to include that baby spinach! Its flavor is completely masked by the strawberries and banana, offering a hidden nutritional punch without altering the delicious taste of your breakfast drink.
