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.

Beautiful photos, I’d love to have a glass right now. Love the idea of putting jam in the shake. It must give the most strawberry flavor.
15 ingredients!?! I can’t imagine going through all that effort for a smoothie. You are right. Simpler is better and this smoothie looks fantastic! I’ve never used jam in mine before…definitely something to try :)
The photos are GORGEOUS!
As is the recipe :)
My favorite smoothy has to be mango..
and you are absolutely right..the simplest things are the best
Bravo! I use yogurt instead of milk, but I love the idea of going with jam instead of sugar. Pure genius. Amen to the heels comment too. I haven’t worn high, high heels in a long time.
I love strawberry smoothies!
where did the straws come from? I love them!
I never thought about adding jam. I frequently add a ripe banana as well. I find it compliments the strawberries.
Yum! I love the addition of the strawberries jam. Gorgeous photos!
