Instructions

In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, and milk. Blend until coarse.
Add optional ingredients like nut butter or protein powder and blend again until thick and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a few more frozen banana slices.
Scoop the blended mixture into a serving bowl.
Drizzle with melted coconut oil (if using).
Top with granola, hemp seeds, fresh strawberry slices, and banana slices. Add optional toppings like cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or edible flowers for extra flair.
Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy!

Notes

– For a thicker smoothie base, use less liquid and more frozen fruit.

– Customize with mix-ins like spinach, kale, or avocado for added nutrients.

– Store leftover smoothie base in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 1 month. Blend again with a splash of liquid to restore texture avoid microwaving to preserve creaminess.

– Best served fresh; assemble toppings just before serving to maintain crunch and texture.
