Preparation
Chef’s notes
Recipe adapted from Basic Blueberry Smoothie.
*Frozen strawberries can be hard to blend. Thaw for 5 to 10 minutes before using.
Make it gluten-free:
The smoothie is gluten-free without the oats. If adding oats, ensure they are certified gluten-free.
Make it nut-free:
Substitute sunbutter for almond butter, and nut-free milk or water for almond milk.
Storage suggestions:
Keep in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 to 2 days. The top layer may darken; scoop off if preferred.
