Print Recipe

A quick, creamy, and naturally sweet smoothie made with fresh strawberries, Medjool dates, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. Perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or post-workout refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 2–3 large Medjool dates, pitted
  • ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt, plain, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3–4 ice cubes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull about 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries. Cut them in halves to help the blender work better. Pit 2 to 3 large Medjool dates and chop roughly if they’re big.
  2. In your blender, combine the strawberries, dates, ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt, and 1 cup (240ml) almond milk. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for a subtle aroma.
  3. Toss in 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seeds if you want a fiber boost, plus 3-4 ice cubes for chill (optional).
  4. Start on low speed and gradually ramp up to high, blending until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. The dates should dissolve fully—no grainy bits. If your smoothie feels too thick, add a splash more almond milk and pulse again.
  5. Give it a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add another date or a teaspoon of honey. For a thinner consistency, add a little more almond milk.
  6. Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes before blending if they are not soft to avoid grainy texture. Use frozen strawberries and skip ice cubes for a thicker, colder smoothie. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or plant-based protein powder. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the smoothie. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy twist.
