    I love a good smoothie, including my Apple Kale Smoothie, Smoothie with Mango and Pineapple, and Berry Spinach Smoothie. They can be a great way to increase your nutrients for the day!

    When I make them I try to limit the fruit in them though. A lot of smoothie recipes call for so much fruit. Now yes, I know, fruit is a whole food and can be super good for you, but sometimes even too much fruit can be a bad thing for some people; including me! My body does not process sugar well (even the natural kind), so I try to limit even my fruit.

    This healthy strawberry smoothie recipe requires simple and clean ingredients and is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and protein.

    Ingredients for This Healthy Strawberry Smoothie

    • Frozen banana – you’ll need ½ a frozen banana. This adds in some creaminess and sweetness to the smoothie.
    • Frozen strawberries – it’s a strawberry smoothie recipe, so of course you’ll want some of these 🙂 Strawberries are a great sources of antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. Strawberries are on the dirty dozen list, so I highly recommend buying organic.
    • Almonds – almonds are a powerhouse of a food! They help to add in protein to this smoothie. In addition, almonds are a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and key nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium.
    • Chia seeds + hemp seeds – super seeds are perfect for throwing in smoothies. Both chia and hemp seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids (aka healthy fats), fiber, plant protein, and antioxidants. (note: hemp seeds can also be called hemp hearts). Here are my favorite hemp seeds and chia seeds.

    Tips and Recipe Notes

    Frozen bananas – always keep some frozen bananas in the freezer so you have some on hand when a smoothie calls. Peel your bananas before freezing. Break them into thirds, or in half, depending on how big they are and then place in the freezer. I love Stasher bags as an eco-friendly way to store food in the freezer.

    Strawberries – I recommend frozen so that the smoothie is nice and cold, but fresh will work too. If you use fresh, I recommend throwing in a couple of ice cubes to keep the smoothie nice and cold.

    Chia and hemp seeds – if you don’t have both on hand you can easily just use all chia seeds or all hemp seeds in this healthy strawberry smoothie recipe.

    Almonds – I recommend using almonds in this recipe. They help with the creaminess and blend up well in this recipe. You could try walnuts or even cashews, but note I haven’t tried this, so can’t guarantee the results.

    Add-ins

    If you want to make this more of a meal, or a little more filling, you could add in some oats or protein powder.

    Oats – oats taste great in this smoothie and are a great way to turn this smoothie into a meal (would be perfect for breakfast). If you want to try some oats, I would add in ¼ - ½ cup. I recommend organic oats due to the high likelihood that oats are contaminated with herbicides and pesticides.

    Protein powder - I am not a huge fan of protein powders. Mostly because I don’t think they taste good and it’s hard to find a truly clean protein powder. With that said though, you could add in some protein powder if you have one that you like.

      This smoothie was delicious! I added the oats and more chia seeds since I couldn't find hemp seeds anywhere. Thank you for sharing!
