Servings: 1 person
Calories: 233kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup strawberry frozen
- ½ cup banana frozen
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon flaxseed ground
- ½ cup Greek yogurt plain
- ¾ cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon hemp seeds can increase to 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender: frozen fruit, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and hemp seeds.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice if using a smaller blender.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.
- For extra texture, you can top it with a few more hemp seeds, chia seeds, or even a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter for a peanut-free version.
- Tip: If your smoothie turns out too thick, simply add a little more almond milk and blend again until it reaches the consistency you like. I find the natural sweetness from the fruit just right, but if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to add a splash of maple syrup. Try to avoid using regular sugar, as natural sweeteners are a better choice for a healthier blend.

Notes
- These are the nutrition facts for 1 serving of this recipe.
- The nutrition information provided is an estimate. It will vary based on the specific ingredients used.
- Make smoothie packs: To prep in advance, portion out all the smoothie ingredients (except the liquid and yogurt) into individual freezer-safe bags or containers. Keep them in the freezer for up to one month. When you’re ready to make your smoothie, just pour the contents into a blender, add your almond milk and yogurt, and blend. This method makes mornings quicker and ensures you always have a healthy option ready to go.
- Store in the fridge: If you want to blend your smoothie ahead of time, you can store it in a sealed glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as natural separation may occur. For the best texture and flavor, enjoy it within the same day.
- Bonus tip: You can also pour leftover smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze for a fun, healthy treat your kids will love!
