#### **Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Ingredients**:

– Wash the strawberries and remove the stems if necessary.

– Peel the banana and break it into chunks.

– If using fresh spinach, rinse it thoroughly. If using frozen spinach, you can add it directly to the blender.

2. **Blend the Smoothie**:

– Add the strawberries, banana, oats, spinach, almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), and honey (if using) into a blender.

– Blend until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

3. **Taste and Adjust**:

– Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness, adding more honey or sweetener if needed.

4. **Serve**:

– Pour into a glass, garnish with a few extra berries or banana slices if desired, and enjoy!

### **Tips:**

– **For Extra Protein**: Add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter.

– **Frozen Fruit**: Using frozen strawberries and banana will give your smoothie a thicker, colder texture, but fresh fruit works well too.

– **Vegan Option**: Use dairy-free yogurt and non-dairy milk for a vegan smoothie.

– **Add-ins**: You can throw in some chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even a tablespoon of spirulina for an additional nutritional boost.
