Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• ½ ripe avocado
• 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
• ½ ripe banana or ½ cup mango chunks optional – adds extra sweetness & creaminess
• 1 cup milk of your choice dairy or plant-based
• 2 tbsp raw honey or sweetener of choice
• ½ tsp rose water optional – for authentic Lebanese floral flavor
• ½ tsp orange blossom water optional – nice gentle fragrance

Equipment

• Ninja Blender

Method

 

1. Wash your strawberries. Use a knife & cutting board to trim off the stems.
2. Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado into the blender jar using a spoon.
3. If you’re using banana or mango, peel and slice banana, or chop mango into chunks, then add to blender.
4. Pour your chosen milk into the blender.
5. Add honey into the blender.
6. Add strawberries and avocado into the blender.
7. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds.
8. Serve immediately chilled.

Notes

• Add optional flavorings like tsp rose water and tsp orange blossom water, if you want that authentic Lebanese floral touch.
• For a chillier, thicker smoothie use frozen strawberries (or toss in a few ice cubes before blending).
• If you don’t have clotted cream (ashta), plain yogurt or ricotta work fine for topping.
• Drink this right away. If you store leftovers, keep in fridge and consume within 1 day  freshness and creamy texture drop over time.
• For dairy-free version, use almond, oat, or soy milk. Smoothness is still on point.
• Adjust sweetness to your taste – raw honey gives rich flavor and slight floral tone, but you can use maple syrup or less sugar if you want lighter taste.
