🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash 1 cup of fresh strawberries under cold water. Remove the stems and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Slicing ensures they blend smoothly.
- Gather Your Spices: Measure out 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a tiny pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) of ground nutmeg, and an even smaller pinch (less than 1/8 teaspoon) of ground ginger. These spices add warmth and depth.
- Combine in Blender: Add the sliced strawberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1/2 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (for extra sweetness, if desired) to your blender. If you are on a diet you might not want to add any sugar or sweetener
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a few more pieces of strawberry or a small scoop of ice.
- Taste and Adjust: Give the smoothie a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup. If you want more cinnamon flavor, add another tiny pinch of cinnamon.
- Pour and Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass. I love using a mason jar for that cozy vibe, but any glass will do!
- Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, garnish with a fresh strawberry slice on the rim of the glass or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. A cinnamon stick also makes a beautiful garnish.
- Enjoy Immediately: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh! Sip slowly and savor the comforting flavors of strawberry and cinnamon. This smoothie is so good, you will never want to make anything else!
📝 Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen strawberries.
- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
- If you don't have nutmeg or ginger on hand, you can skip them, but they add a unique warmth to the smoothie.
