Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 heaping cup frozen strawberries (about 1¼ cups if level)
  • 1 medium banana (fresh or about 1 cup frozen banana slices)
  • ½ fresh orange (peeled and segmented, or juice from half an orange)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup milk (non-dairy or regular dairy milk)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (or your preferred nut/seed butter)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt (the secret ingredient!)

Equipment

  • blender

Method
 

Phase 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. Gather all your ingredients. Ensure your strawberries are frozen for the best texture. If using fresh banana, consider freezing it beforehand for a thicker smoothie.
Phase 2: Layer and Build Flavor
  1. Add the frozen strawberries to your blender first, followed by the banana. This layering aids smoother blending by creating a powerful vortex.
  2. Peel and segment half an orange, removing any seeds, and add it to the blender. Alternatively, squeeze the juice from half an orange directly into the blender.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile.
  4. Pour in ¾ cup of your preferred milk (dairy milk for traditional creaminess or almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free options).
  5. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of almond butter for extra creaminess, protein, and to make the smoothie more filling.
  6. Now, add the crucial 1/8 teaspoon sea salt. This small addition is key to unlocking the deepest, most balanced flavor in your copycat blend.
Phase 3: Blend to Perfection
  1. Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks. Avoid over-blending, which can make your smoothie foamy.
  2. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend again briefly to ensure perfect consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust consistency by adding more milk (a tablespoon at a time) if you prefer a thinner smoothie, or more frozen strawberries or a few ice cubes for a thicker texture.
Phase 4: Serve and Enjoy
  1. Pour your vibrant pink homemade Scooters strawberry smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.

Notes

For optimal thick, frosty texture, always use frozen strawberries and banana. The 1/8 tsp sea salt is crucial for balanced flavor. Serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container (filled to brim) in the fridge for 12-24 hours; re-blend if separated.
