Strawberry Almond Butter Smoothie

Strawberry Almond Butter Smoothie

I usually love this combination with raspberries but I was out of raspberries so I used strawberries instead.  I don’t tend to use strawberries that often – although hubby loves them so I do use them for his smoothies – but for myself I find them a little sweet.  That said there are days when I have a hankering for sweetness in my smoothies, in which case strawberries are a perfect addition.

Today’s smoothy was very creamy and with the almond butter, dates, banana & vanilla and a whole lot of green nutrition, I can honestly say I hit the jackpot!! Yum!!

Ingredients:
Make 2 litres

  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • 2 Tbsp raw almond butter
  • 3 medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 box (142g/5oz) baby spinach

Add all ingredients to the blender.  Blend on low speed and gradually increase speed.  Blend on high until smooth and frothy.  To learn more about how I create smoothies visit My Smoothie Approach.

This creation turned out extra smoothy & creamy and had a wonderful texture and flavour.  Although I will say the flavour was not really what I expected, it was as if all the flavour blended so nothing stood out but instead it was a calm medley of creamy and smoothy!!  Quite delicious :-)
