3 *YUMMY* Strawberry Smoothie Recipes 🍓 EASY & HEALTHY

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name is Alyssa. Today we are talking all about smoothies and I'm gonna be showing you how to make three delicious strawberry smoothie recipes which are perfect for the summer. They are so refreshing, perfectly light, easy to make, and seriously delicious. We are making today's recipes in partnership with California Strawberries and all of the recipes will be linked down below. They're up on their website and you have to try all of them. Now, the recipes do call for dairy products. I just made swaps for mine to make them dairy-free and one of them actually calls for Nutella and if you wanna make your own homemade Nutella, I will link my recipe down below for you as well. Now, if you don't know about strawberries, which of course you already do because strawberries are like the best summer fruit of all time, but strawberries are one of my favorite things to eat in the summer because they are not only really refreshing and light and delicious, but they are also really good for us. They're really high in antioxidants, they're full of fiber, they have potassium, and actually they are low in sugar in comparison to a lot of other fruits. So one serving of strawberries is less sugar than an apple and calorie speaking, a serving of strawberries is about equivalent to half of a banana. So they're a great option to add to your smoothies because like I said, they're delicious, but they're also really good for you. So if you do wanna get these recipes, like I said, they are linked down below so you can find those right in the description box and otherwise, let's go ahead and get into our delicious strawberry smoothie recipes. So the first recipe that we're making is a strawberry and mango smoothie. This is a fruit forward delicious smoothie that you guys are gonna really love. It's great for summer. We're gonna start with fresh California strawberries in the base of our smoothie. We're also gonna add in some almond milk or milk of choice, followed by some yogurt. I love using coconut yogurt, vanilla bean is delicious. And then you're going to finish it off with some frozen mango. You could also add some protein powder. You could add protein powder to any of these smoothies just to amp them up a little bit. Or you could also stir in like some chia seeds or hemp seeds if you wanted a little bit of extra protein as well. Blend it all together and that is smoothie number one. It is fresh, light, sweet, a little bit tropical and really smooth and creamy. Smoothie number two is our strawberry Nutella smoothie. Again, you can use homemade Nutella or store-bought Nutella, up to you. And we are going to start again with gorgeous California strawberries. Just trim the tops off. If you don't want it to turn an even more brown color, but a fun fact is that you also can actually blend strawberry tops, it's just like extra greens. They're great if you're making a green smoothie. Once you have your strawberries all chopped and cleaned, you can add them into your blender. Follow that with your milk of choice. Again, I used unsweetened almond milk, your Nutella. Again, you can use store-bought or homemade. And then you're going to finish it off with a little bit of vanilla extract and some ice. Blend that all together until it is smooth again and creamy. This one has a little bit of a chocolate flavor. It's got sweetness from the Nutella. It's got that kind of like chocolate-covered strawberry feel. It is really yummy, a little bit more decadent, but equally as delicious and simple to make. And then lastly, we have our strawberry coconut smoothie. We are going to again start with the California strawberries. This time they are frozen. You can just freeze your strawberries once you get them home fresh. And you're going to add in some orange juice as your liquid as well as your yogurt of choice. Again, love the coconut yogurt option. And then we are going to add in milk of choice. This one calls for coconut milk, which highly recommend because you're getting that nice healthy fats and the coconut flavor. And then some ice and blend it all together until it is smooth and creamy. This has a little bit of a kind of like orange twist to it, but the coconut is nice and creamy. It comes through really subtly, perfect with the strawberries. And again, you can see these are really simple smoothies, but they pack a punch in the flavor department. And again, all can be jazzed up with extra protein if you wanted to make them even more filling. And there you have it. That is how to make strawberry smoothies three different ways. I would love to know in the comments which one you are most excited to try first. I love all three. I mean, you can't go wrong with any of those combinations, but if you're looking for one that is just like the epitome of summer, it is the strawberry mango one because it is full of fruit. It's perfectly sweet and it is super refreshing. So I hope you guys did enjoy today's recipe. As always, you can find the full recipes down in the description box. I also wanna thank California Strawberries for joining us in today's video.
