Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (120g) fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (5ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 frozen banana (120g), peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 medium avocado (30g)
  • 1 scoop (10g) collagen peptides
  • 1 tbsp (15g) sea moss gel
  • 2 pitted Medjool dates (15g)
  • 1 pinch (1g) sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Blend the fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice until completely smooth to create the glaze.
  2. Using a spoon, swirl the strawberry glaze around the inner walls of a tall glass or mason jar and place the glass in the freezer.
  3. Pour the unsweetened vanilla almond milk into a high-speed blender.
  4. Add the collagen peptides, sea moss gel, pitted Medjool dates, and avocado to the blender.
  5. Add the frozen strawberries and frozen banana slices on top.
  6. Blend on high speed until the mixture is velvety and no date fragments remain.
  7. Remove the chilled glass from the freezer and slowly pour the smoothie base into the center, allowing it to push the glaze toward the edges.
