Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150 g) frozen strawberries
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) strawberry acai juice or fruit juice (such as cranberry and white grape juice)
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) ice cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (optional: honey, agave, or simple syrup)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: frozen strawberries, strawberry acai juice, coconut milk, ice cubes, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener.
- Add the frozen strawberries and ice cubes to your blender first to help crush the ice smoothly.
- Pour in the fruit juice and coconut milk, then add the vanilla extract and sweetener if using.
- Blend on high: pulse for about 30 seconds, then blend continuously for 1 minute. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to mix evenly.
- Check the texture: it should be creamy and smooth but thick enough to sip through a straw. Adjust consistency by adding more coconut milk or juice if too thick, or more frozen strawberries or ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour the smoothie into a clear glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for best texture and color. Adjust sweetness to taste, as fruit juice usually provides enough natural sweetness. For a creamier texture, substitute or add Greek yogurt, but this changes the classic flavor. Serve immediately for best icy, creamy texture. Store in fridge up to 24 hours and re-blend before drinking. Avoid freezing to prevent icy texture.
