- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 cups almond milk

Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove the stems to ensure they blend smoothly.
- Prepare Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the soft flesh with a spoon.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the almond milk, strawberries, and avocado into a blender for a smooth texture.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
- Add Sweetener: Pour in the maple syrup and blend again to incorporate the sweetness evenly throughout the smoothie.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend briefly to reach your desired thickness.

Notes
- Using frozen strawberries can make the smoothie colder and thicker without needing ice.
- Adjust the maple syrup quantity based on your preferred sweetness level or substitute with honey if desired.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder or chia seeds.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately for freshness but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
