Strawberry Recipes
I love recipes with strawberries. They have so much flavour and natural sweetness, they always add something special to a recipe.
Take this Strawberry Sheet Cake for example. It is full of fresh strawberry flavour and it is one of my most favourite go-to recipes because of it. Strawberries also always remind me of Summer. I've also made delish Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream and it is definitely a favourite with friends and family on hot summer days.
Should you use fresh or frozen strawberries?
Some recipes need fresh strawberries, and others recommend frozen. So it is always dependant on what you're making whether fresh or frozen will be best. For smoothies, frozen strawberries are great to add that chilled, frozen texture and feeling - but using fresh will be just as tasty!
How to Make a Strawberry Almond Smoothie
Making smoothies is ridiculously easy. I think that's why I love them so much! To make this delicious smoothie all you need to do is add the ingredients to a blender and then blend until smooth and creamy. It's that simple! You can then pour your smoothie into a bowl or glass and top with fresh mint and extra strawberries if desired. As usual, I'm obsessed with everything Kitchen Inspire, so I always have my Kitchen Inspire scissor near me for whenever I need to cut fresh herbs. Because fresh herbs are always the best!

Optional Adjustments
The thickness of this Vegan Strawberry Almond Smoothie can be adjusted to your preferred consistency by changing the amount of almond milk that you use. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add only half a cup of almond milk. This strawberry smoothie with almond milk can also be altered to use any other milk option, whether that be dairy or dairy-free milk options. I love making this recipe with coconut milk as well. The amount of agave syrup can also be adjusted depending on how sweet you like your smoothie. You can also swap out the agave syrup for honey for a non-vegan option.
