Ingredient Notes

Strawberries: While fresh strawberries are best during their peak season in June, for the best taste and texture year-round, consider using frozen strawberries. They ensure consistent flavor and contribute to a thicker consistency in the smoothie.
Milk: Whole milk provides a creamier texture and richer taste, enhancing the overall mouthfeel of the smoothie. For a dairy-free alternative, almond, soy, or oat milk are excellent substitutes that still maintain a creamy texture.
Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract brings out the best flavor, adding a subtle complexity to the smoothie. Imitation vanilla can be used in a pinch without compromising too much on taste.
Honey: Honey offers a natural sweetness that complements the tartness of the strawberries perfectly. If you prefer, a sugar substitute can also be used to tailor the sweetness to your liking.
