Strawberry Basil Fab Four Smoothie – #Fab4Smoothie

This Strawberry Basil Smoothie recipe tastes like summer in a glass. It’s rich, sweet, fruity and creamy (even though it contains no dairy or sweeteners.) The best part? The healthy Fab Four combination of protein, fat, fiber and greens will elongate your blood sugar curve and keep you full for hours.

You can use fresh or frozen strawberries in this smoothie. I prefer frozen strawberries because I think it improves the texture.

Notes

I prefer using frozen fruit as it makes the smoothie colder and thicker. If you use fresh fruit, add a few ice cubes and decrease the amount of liquid slightly.

I keep my greens (spinach, kale, or a combination) in a plastic bag in the freezer. That way I can stock up when they are on sale. Frozen greens never spoil and it’s really easy to break off a small handful to add to my daily smoothies.
