Why add avocado to a strawberry smoothie?

Avocado is added to this smoothie to create an exceptionally silky, creamy texture and a rich mouthfeel, complementing the sweetness of the strawberries and banana.

Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

Yes, using frozen strawberries will make your smoothie colder and potentially thicker, eliminating the need for ice. Adjust liquid if necessary for desired consistency.

What is the purpose of the optional lemon juice?

The optional lemon juice brightens the overall flavor profile of the smoothie, adding a subtle tang that balances the sweetness, and can help prevent the avocado from browning.

How long can I store this Silky Strawberry Avocado Smoothie?

This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending for optimal freshness and texture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note the color and texture may change slightly.

What kind of banana should I use for the best flavor?

For the best natural sweetness and a smooth consistency, use a ripe banana, preferably one with some brown spots on the peel.
