    Summer's End Dairy Free Strawberry Smoothie

    This dairy free strawberry smoothie is made with almond milk, and specifically with frozen berries to give it a nice icy slushy texture.

    This time of year is bittersweet in many ways: many of you already have children who have gone back to school (ours start after Labor Day), this is when the days start getting shorter, and the abundance of fresh fruit & vegetables that summer provides starts to wane.

    Oregon strawberries, which are, in my opinion, the absolute BEST strawberries in the entire planet, have been "out of season" for a few weeks already. Insert super sad face here. Have you had fresh Oregon strawberries? Hood strawberries are my favorite, and let me tell you: once you go Hood Strawberries, you can't go back, folks. You just can't.

    So, thank goodness for the modern miracle known as the freezer.
    frozen strawberries

    Fresh berries that are frozen can last for several months, and they are little bits of sunshine that help Pacific Northwest residents get through the fall and winter, which I call the Grey Season. Strawberry sorbet in December? No problem! Organic berry smoothies in January? Absolutely.

    So in tribute to the great Oregon strawberries that were lovingly picked and are now resting beautifully in freezers across the Pacific Northwest, I give you today's Foodie Friday recipe: my simple, refreshing, healthy Summer's End Strawberry Smoothie.

    I call this Summer's End because this berry smoothie calls specifically for those frozen strawberries.

    Strawberry Smoothie with almondmilk

    TheAlmond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk Vanilla Unsweeteened that I use to make it a dairy free strawberry smoothie gives it a nice, slightly thicker texture than you would get from regular skim milk or even regular 2% milk. Plus, I just like the added depth of flavor that you get from the almondmilk coconutmilk.

    As an optional sweetener, you could add the honey as I did -- but it's definitely not necessary.

    Now, I know this isn't a groundbreaking recipe as far as food and drink recipes go, but we LOVE smoothies in our house, and I've had so many people ask me for more smoothie recipes. If you haven't used frozen berries in your smoothies yet, try this recipe! It's tried and true, and a great way to help you start your day or put the pep back into your step mid-afternoon as an afternoon snack.

    I like this smoothie as is, but he prefers it to have more berries, so I'll add frozen blueberries and Marionberries (Oregon's sweet cousin to the blackberry) to his smoothie.

    What are your favorite summer fruits & veggies to freeze and enjoy after the season ends?

        Hood berries ARE the best, but I won't say no to any ever-bearing strawberries that might come back around this year.

        I love having frozen berries on hand to blitz up for smoothie. Never tried with almond milk, but I think it would a fun switch up.

          I think you'll like the depth of flavor that the almond milk adds. Hope you try it and like it, Kiano! Thanks!

        I love the idea of this smoothie but hate thinking about summer's end! Luckily, I think the warm temps will last into September so I can enjoy this frosty treat in the fall, too.

          Ha ha yes, it's definitely one you can enjoy in fall because of the frozen strawberries! I suppose it's more of the end of strawberry season vs. official summer's end (although some argue that the end of strawberry season is the end of summer!) ;) Thanks Alisa!

        I love smoothies with strawberries. I really enjoy putting some PB in there and making a PB & J smoothie! I haven't tried almond milk but will have to give it a whirl... literally. :)

        That looks yummy. I love smoothie recipes that aren't too complicated with hard to find ingredients. Coconut milk is the perfect addition.
