Jump to recipeNutrition NotesStrawberriesare loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, as well as other vitamins and minerals. They also provide some fiber—the amount of strawberries in this smoothie is about 4.5 grams. Strawberries have been linked with reduced inflammation and heart disease risk, as well as with boosting brain and digestive health. Thanks to their fiber and because they’re low-glycemic, strawberries may also help with stabilizing blood sugar.Cow’s milkboasts an impressive line-up of nutrients, including complete protein, calcium, vitamin B12, potassium and vitamin D. Calcium and vitamin D are necessary for bone health and the fat and protein in milk can help keep you full longer. There is mixed consensus regarding dairy and heart health, but research seems to lean toward dairy having a neutral or slightly beneficial effect on heart health. There is even evidence that regularly drinking milk can reduce your risk of diabetes and cognitive decline.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
