Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under running water and remove their stems to ensure they are clean and ready for blending.
- Prepare the avocado: Carefully slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the creamy flesh using a spoon.
- Combine ingredients: Place the almond milk, strawberries, and avocado into the blender pitcher.
- Blend to smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure an even consistency.
- Add sweetener: Pour in the maple syrup to taste, then blend again briefly to mix it evenly into the smoothie.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again until the desired thickness is reached.

Notes
- Use frozen strawberries to make the smoothie cold without adding ice.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- For a thicker smoothie, reduce the almond milk or add ice cubes.
- Make sure the avocado is ripe to achieve a creamy texture and rich taste.
- Optionally, add a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without altering flavor significantly.
