Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup cold water or coconut water, as needed for consistency
  • Fresh strawberries, for garnish
  • Fresh mint sprig, for garnish optional

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Tall serving glasses
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In the carafe of a high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, full-fat coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sweetener, pure vanilla extract, and the pinch of salt.
  2. Secure the lid and blend, starting on a low speed and gradually increasing to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and no fruit chunks remain.
  3. Taste the mixture. If it's not sweet enough, add more sweetener. If it is too thick, add a splash of cold water or coconut water and blend for another 10 seconds until it reaches your desired drinkable consistency.
  4. Pour the refresher into tall glasses. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and an optional sprig of mint. Serve immediately for the best chilled and creamy experience.

Notes

A high-speed blender is highly recommended for the smoothest texture. For an extra-chilled treat, place your serving glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before pouring. Variations: For a thicker, smoothie-style drink, add half a frozen banana. For a tropical twist, add a handful of frozen mango or pineapple. For a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
