Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries hulled, plus extra for garnish
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk chilled, from a can or carton
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, for thickness
- 1 cup ice cubes omit if using frozen strawberries
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If needed, store leftovers in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—shake well before serving as separation may occur. Make-ahead: Prep strawberries and measure ingredients the night before; blend just before serving. Substitutions: Use any plant-based milk; swap maple syrup with agave or a pitted date. For a thicker texture, add ½ banana or ¼ cup Greek yogurt (if dairy is okay). Serving: Pair with heart-shaped toast or dark chocolate for a full Valentine's treat.
