Rhubarb is one of those seasonal ingredients I just can\u2019t imagine my kitchen without. It\u2019s a true sign that summer is on the way \u2013 and we\u2019re always looking forward to it! I love using rhubarb in healthier bakes and desserts. What about you \u2013 are you fans of its distinctive tart flavor? For me, it\u2019s the taste of childhood \u2013 I still remember dipping the stalks in sugar and snacking on them straight from the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhubarb smoothie - how to prepare?\u00a0<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It tastes best fresh, so I don\u2019t recommend making it far in advance. However, if you\u2019re short on time, you can wash and chop the rhubarb and strawberries ahead of time, then blending will take just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add cold almond milk straight from the fridge \u2013 this way, your smoothie will be nicely chilled. You can easily swap almond milk for any other plant-based milk, like oat or soy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use sweet, seasonal strawberries, one tablespoon of brown sugar might be enough. Give it a taste and add more if needed. I prefer my smoothies with a slight tang, so I added only a little sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, we use only the rhubarb stalks in this recipe \u2013 the leaves contain high levels of oxalic acid and are not safe to eat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
