Ingredients

1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
1 cup probiotic yogurt I used coconut probiotic yogurt
fresh ginger about 0.5" (1.5cm)
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Start with preparing and measuring all the ingredients. Use measuring cups.
If you are using fresh strawberries, wash them and remove strawberry stems.
Peel and chop the ginger.
Place all ingredients in a blander. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
Turn on the blender and mix at high speed until you get a smooth texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until the smoothie is smooth.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if you like.
Transfer the smoothie into a tall smoothie glass.
Add toppings (optional): I used bee pollen and hemp seeds. Be creative here and add toppings you like.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

As a measure, I used a US cup (240ml).

Substitutions

You can use fresh or frozen strawberries.
You can use any plant-based or dairy probiotic yogurt here. Kefir is a great option too.
You can substitute probiotic yogurt with regular yogurt, low-fat or Greek-style.
You can substitute hemp seeds with ground flax seeds with chia seeds.

Add ½ avocado or a tablespoon of almond butter, to make the smoothie more nutritious.

Add protein powder: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. This will transfer smoothie into a great protein-packed, post-workout shake.

Store in a smoothie cup with a lid and keep refrigerated for up to one day.
