- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon hyaluronic acid liquid (optional)
- For the Smoothie:
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/4 ripe avocado
- 1 to 2 pitted Medjool dates
- 1 scoop unflavored collagen powder
- 1 tablespoon sea moss gel (optional)
- 1/2 cup almond milk or oat milk
- 1 to 2 drops vanilla stevia (optional)
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the strawberries soften and become jammy.
- Mash the strawberries with a fork and let the glaze cool slightly.
- Spoon the coconut cream along the inside of a tall serving glass.
- Add the cooled strawberry glaze to the glass, allowing it to drip naturally down the sides.
- In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, avocado, dates, collagen powder, sea moss gel, and almond or oat milk.
- Blend for 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and add vanilla stevia if additional sweetness is desired.
- Pour the smoothie slowly into the prepared glass.
- Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
Notes
- Frozen strawberries create the thickest and creamiest texture.
- Fresh strawberries can be used, but you may need to add ice for thickness.
- Sea moss gel and hyaluronic acid liquid are optional wellness additions.
- Use plant-based collagen or omit it for a dairy-free version.
- Add raspberries for extra berry flavor.
- Use less milk for a thicker smoothie consistency.
- The strawberry glaze can be prepared up to 3 days ahead.
- The smoothie is best served immediately after blending.
