Why Should I Add Strawberry Jam?
The strawberry jam is the secret weapon in this simple strawberry smoothie recipe. It not only sweetens the smoothie but intensifies the strawberry-ness, without any fake flavoring syrups or extracts. You can use sugar-free jam or “spreadable fruit” to decrease sugar levels!
Tips & Tricks
- Frozen strawberries are preferred to fresh strawberries because they thicken and chill the smoothie without any added ice to water it down. Plus, frozen berries allow you to make smoothies any time of year.
- The cow’s milk can be interchanged with kefir or any sort of non-dairy milk that you like.
- Add spinach for more nutrition! Make a strawberry spinach smoothie by adding a handful of spinach. It will turn the color green, but will still taste like strawberries!
- Make a strawberry banana smoothie by adding a fresh banana to the mix.
- Use ANY sort of frozen fruit and jam to make this “best” smoothie recipe your flavor of choice… Raspberry, blackberry, mango, and the sky is the limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can! Add 1 cup of yogurt (or greek yogurt) and 1/2 cup of water to thin it out. You can even use strawberry yogurt to add even more berry flavor!
Extra ingredients you can add to boost your smoothies: frozen banana, almond milk or coconut milk, orange juice, honey, chocolate or cocoa powder, almond butter, other nut butter variations, handfuls of spinach or kale, flax or chia seeds, or protein powder.
You can keep the smoothies in the freezer for just a few hours, but this is not a good recipe to make ahead and freeze. It takes quite a while for them to thaw, so they are not as convenient as a quick breakfast or snack once they are frozen hard.

Can I use water instead of milk?
Hi Judy,
I wouldn’t. But you can use any type of milk for flavor and texture… Dairy, almond, cashew, oat milk.
Thank you for consistently delivering high-quality and engaging work.
I made it just now. I couldn’t be more thankful finding this recipe for a simple but very delicious strawberry smoothie! Other recipes require at least 7 ingredients. This recipe has no required measurements. I just added greek yogurt, and we loved the result! I usually don’t leave reviews but this one deserves 5 star, it’s like a smoothie ordered straight from a good restaurant!
Your site was very informative and interesting as well. Thanks a lot and good luck. best web hosting for wordpress
I’m a diabetic so I used strawberries I froze myself and Smuckers sugar free jam. It turned out great.
Delicious! I had a bunch of fresh overripe strawberries and didn’t know what to do with them. This turned out great! Thank you
What if instead of jam you used yogurt? Do you think it would have the same consistency?
Hi Amber,
I think the consistency would be fine, but the smoothies might not be sweet enough. If you give it a try, please report back!
We make smoothies all the time & this is a favorite of ours!! We love strawberry flavor!! It’s the perfect breakfast smoothie!!
lol, a strawberry smoothie when it’s snowing is really enjoyable~
I agree, simple is best! Any barriers to making something, like extra ingredients or equipment, will prevent me from making it I always have half and half around for my coffee, so I just use that and frozen berries. I actually prefer fruit smoothies unsweetened, so I don’t use any jam. This makes it a bit more diet friendly for regular use, too.
Would be perfect to have this smoothie every day! Thanks for sharing
