Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen strawberries and spinach depending on availability; frozen will give a colder, thicker texture.
- Adjust the sweetness with honey or stevia according to your dietary needs.
- Ground flax seeds add fiber and healthy omega-3 fats, but can be substituted with chia seeds if preferred.
- For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use a vegan sweetener.
- Adding ice cubes will chill the smoothie without diluting flavor when blended properly.
