This is a very quick and easy strawberry smoothie to make any time of the day, and is palatable to both children and adults alike. I definitely prefer to use frozen berries, as the end result is a cold, creamy smoothie, but if you don’t have a very strong blender, feel free to use fresh (unfrozen) fruit. Strawberries are still in season here in Cyprus (my new home), so it’s a great time to stash some away in the freezer for later this summer when the prices are otherwise quite high. If you are a lover of strawberries, you might also like my Summer Strawberry Macadamia Nut Milk!
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen strawberries
2 cups coconut milk or other plant-based milk
4 dates, pits removed
Scrapings from ½ vanilla bean, or 1 tsp. non-alcoholic vanilla extract
Instructions:
Place all ingredients except the liquid into a high-speed blender and blend until creamy. If your blender is struggling, let the strawberries thaw a bit, or add some filtered water in small amounts while blending. Pour into two glasses and top with a fresh berry or two, mint leaves, chia seeds or even chopped cacao nibs to serve. Enjoy immediately. Serves 2.

Well, it has its ups and downs like the life of everyone else, and is very challenging at times…but we get out of it what we put into it, I guess!
