Healthy simple ingredients make this strawberry smoothie high in protein - a perfect snack or meal to start your day. Sweet strawberries, bananas, and dates make a delicious flavor. Nutrient packed with flax seeds, almonds, greens (kale), and beets (optional) to fuel your next adventure.
⅓cupbeets cooked optional* I buy frozen cooked sliced beets
Instructions
If there are pits in your dates, remove them.
Place the dates, flax seeds, bananas, and almonds into the blender. Add the milk and water on top.
Then place the beets (if using) and frozen strawberries in the blender container. Secure lid and blend until evrything is smooth and there are no frozen chunks of strawberries.
This makes about 5 ½ cups of smoothie. Pour into 1 large cup, 2 medium cups, or 4 small cups. Enjoy!
Notes
*Beets are optional but make the smoothie a bright pink color and increase the nutrition of this smoothie. I buy pre-cooked and sliced beets in the frozen vegetable section of the grocery store (Presidents Choice brand). If you don't have a high power blender, you can grind the almond and flax seeds in a coffee grinder before adding them to make a nicer texture
