It is finally strawberry season around Charlotte! I love this time of year and my kids always beg to go strawberry picking. Yesterday was my birthday so I decided to start the day with a strawberry breakfast smoothie! In season and delicious… the perfect birthday combination.
You can really put anything into a strawberry breakfast smoothie (or any smoothie!) but I generally put in a few standard ingredients that I always have in the house – plain yogurt, a banana, and 1 or 2 medjool dates.
For this strawberry breakfast smoothie, I added in a handful of fresh strawberries, a tablespoon of chia seeds, honey, a few ice cubes, and I was on my way.
Happy birthday to me!
Ingredients:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 banana
2 medjool dates (pitted)
1 handful (about 1 cup) strawberries
1/2 cup ice cubes
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high to crush the ice cubes and then reduce the power to medium to continue blending the ingredients until they look well mixed. Enjoy!!
I am downright thrilled that it’s strawberry season! Love that you included them in your breakfast smoothie. What a way to wake up. 🙂
Strawberry picking with the family is always so much fun. The kids love to eat the fruit that they pick and help make strawberry recipes too! There are so many delicious ones to choose from.
