Ingredients

Fresh strawberries
Obviously, you’ll need some strawberries for this delicious strawberry smoothie recipe.

Avocado
Avocado is a fantastic source of healthy fats. It also makes this smoothie recipe extra creamy too.
Coconut milk
Use unsweetened coconut milk for the best flavor and consistency.
Lime juice
A little lime juice makes the smoothie taste sweeter and fresher. For the best results, use fresh lime.

Tips
Use a high-powered blender. Since you are going to blend ice with the rest of the ingredients, you’ll need to use one that is powerful enough.
Choose bright red strawberries. Strawberries that aren’t ripe won’t be as sweet, so look for bright ripe red berries. Fresh or frozen will work.
Adjust milk amount. Add just a little bit of milk if you want it thicker. Add more milk to thin it down.
