Supplementary Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon collagen (optional)
- ½ teaspoon stevia extract (Now Better Stevia recommended)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon glucomannan

Instructions
- Prepare the foundational liquid mixture by combining zesty lemon juice, creamy almond milk, optional collagen powder, sweet stevia extract, a pinch of Himalayan salt, and aromatic vanilla extract in a blender.
- Activate the blender on low speed, gently incorporating all initial ingredients until they form a smooth, uniform liquid base.
- While the blender continues running at low speed, carefully introduce glucomannan powder, sprinkling it slowly to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping.
- Maintain blending for approximately 30 seconds, allowing the glucomannan to integrate and create a slightly thickened texture.
- Pause the blender and add fresh, ripe strawberries and ice cubes to the liquid mixture.
