🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, gently rinse the fresh berries under cool water. This removes any dirt or debris, ensuring your smoothie is clean and delicious.
- Next, hull the strawberries. This means removing the green leafy part at the top. A small paring knife works best, but you can also use a strawberry huller if you have one.
- Peel and slice the banana. This helps your blender process it more easily. Plus, sliced bananas freeze well, so you can store some for future smoothies!
- If you're using fresh thyme, pluck the leaves from the stems. Thyme stems can be a bit woody, so just use the leaves for the best flavor.
- Now, add all the ingredients to your blender: the mixed berries, sliced banana, fresh thyme leaves, agave nectar (or your chosen sweetener), and the milk of your choice.
- Secure the lid on your blender. Make sure it's on tight to avoid any messy spills!
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this might take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Blend again briefly to incorporate the extra liquid.
- Give the smoothie a taste. Adjust the sweetness by adding more agave nectar or honey if needed. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of zing!
- Pour the Berry Thyme Treasure Smoothie into a glass. Garnish with a few fresh berries and a sprig of thyme for an extra touch of elegance.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors! This smoothie is best when fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for later. Just give it a good shake before drinking.
📝 Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen berries or add a few ice cubes.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference.
- Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy twist.
