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.
Serving Suggestions
This easy strawberry smoothie is the perfect breakfast or snack idea! Sometimes, you might want something a little more substantial to go along with your smoothie. Try pairing it with some of my personal favorites:
- Oatmeal Banana Bread
- Cinnamon Sugar Buns
- Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
- Tropical Breakfast Muffins

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.

Omg this was unbelievable!!! So good!!! I added some ice chips to mine before blending. MUST try
I was looking for a recipe that didn’t call for yogurt, as I didn’t have any on hand I thought I hit pay dirt as I was sure I would have what it did need. That wasn’t the case. No jam! On a whim I used about a half cup of blueberry pie filling and a 1/4 cup of lemon juice. I had a bag of frozen mixed berries and one bag of pineapple chunks. I am just amazed at how good this coconcoction worked.
It was disapointing I lost the healthiness of this smoothie, obviously not enough stop me from sitting here enjoying it! Thanks for my new go to recipe. So easy, customizable and good!
Ok, this recipe called for-
1.Strawberries
2.Milk
3.Strawberry Jam
You used-
1.Mixed berries (close)
2.Pineapple chunks (not remotely close. Totally different qualities and adds much more moisture than berries would)
3.Milk
4.Blueberry pie filling
5.Lemon juice
I’m glad you made a totally different recipe that you ended up liking, but this is not a review of THIS recipe.
Yummy! Looks Great. We reviewed some perfect smoothies blender and i think its help to make Strawberry Smoothies as well as others blending recipes. Good Job.
Just curious is there any type of fruit that doesn’t work well in a smoothie??
Hi Tammy,
We’ve made these with every variety of berry, and they are always wonderful! :)
Hi Sommer!

Thanks!

Smoothies are the best way to start the day and the bright colors make them even better. I love the pink!
This looks absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for this recipe.
Amazing!
I tried this smoothie recipe after trying a disastrous one yesterday, and this one was GREAT! I love the jam in it, it does accentuate the strawberry flavor, and I love the texture!
One note: My sister and I used non-frozen strawberries so we added some crushed ice, which worked just fine. Just be sure to totally crush the ice or you’ll have tiny pieces throughout your drink!:)
I used sugar free jam and unsweetened almond milk and added 1 banana plus cut recipe in half. It was perfect for one drink and sugar free! Great recipe! Thanks!
Wow the smoothies look so creamy and delicious! Can’t wait to try this with yoghurt!!
Perfect strawberry smoothie recipe – as a busy wife and mom, this was easy AND delicious!
