Q&A Section

Q1: Can I make this smoothie dairy-free?
Yes, absolutely! Substitute regular milk with almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk, and replace yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.

Q2: How can I make the smoothie thicker?
For a thicker texture, use frozen strawberries instead of fresh, and add a little less liquid. You can also include a tablespoon of chia seeds or oats before blending.

Q3: Is it healthy for weight loss?
Yes, when made without added sugar, this smoothie is rich in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. It can be a filling snack or light breakfast that supports weight management.

Q4: Can I prepare it ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking, as natural separation may occur.

Q5: What variations can I try?

  • Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green strawberry smoothie.

  • Blend in a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout shake.
