Basil isn’t just for pasta sauce, pizza or curry. Thai basil is bolder, with a slightly more anise flavor than traditional sweet Italian basil you may already have growing in your windowsill. Pick some up at a local farmer’s market or speciality market (the more purple leaves are a dead giveaway), and blend into your smoothie.
Ingredients
Serves 1
- 1 serving Vega One French Vanilla or Vega Protein & Greens Vanilla
- ½ cup frozen strawberries ((if using fresh strawberries, add in a ½ cup of ice)
- 3 Thai basil leaves
- ¼ avocado
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup water
Preparation
- Blend all ingredients together and enjoy.
