Ingredients

1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
½ banana
1 cup oat milk
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds (flaxseed meal)
½ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
Ice cubes optional
Sweetener (optional): Maple syrup, honey or dates, to taste
Toppings: dark chocolate, cacao nibs, hemp seeds, fresh banana slices

Instructions

Add all ingredients into the blender. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending. Also, add in ice cubes, if using.
Mix everything at high speed until you get a smooth silky texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until everything is well combined.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if the smoothie is not sweet enough. This is optional and based on your preference.
Transfer the smoothie into a tall glass.
ADD TOPPINGS: I used banana slices and cacao nibs. Be creative here and add toppings you like.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Makes 1 cup that serves 1 person (full meal) or 2 servings as a snack.

As a measure, I used US cup (240ml). Nutrition values are calculated without added toppings.

Substitutions

Substitute oat milk with any plant-based milk except coconut milk. Coconut milk won't work well here. Cow's milk is fine.
Substitute ground flaxseeds with hemp seeds or chia seeds.
Use the whole banana if you're not on a restricted-calorie diet or making this smoothie for kids. I used only half to cut down calories.
You can add a scoop of protein powder. This makes a great protein-packed, post-workout shake.

Store in a glass jar with a lid or shaker and keep refrigerated for up to one day.
