How to Make a Strawberry Smoothie
To make this Strawberry Smoothie, simply place the frozen strawberries, strawberry jam and milk in the blender. Place the lid on top, and blend until smooth!
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 of 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
Can I use yogurt instead of milk, and if so, how much?
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!
What other flavor variations can I add?
Extra ingredients you could add to this smoothie are: banana, almond milk or coconut milk, orange juice, chocolate or cocoa powder, almond butter, other nut butter variations, handfuls of spinach or kale, chia seeds, or protein powder.
Can I store this in the freezer?
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.

it was great! only complaint there was not enough liquid. Tahnks for such a great recipe!!
Was looking for something sweet at my house (which is very low on groceries right now😂) and I saw we had frozen strawberries. I looked up some smoothie recipes but didn’t have a lot of the ingredients some asked for, like vanilla extract, juice, yogurt, etc etc. I saw this one and was interested because I’ve never put jam in a smoothie but it’s something I had in my fridge so I tried it and omg this is actually very tasty!!😋 Very strawberry-y😂 Love it!

Thank you for this recipe! My kids asked for seconds and they usually don’t like smoothies.
Me too! my 4 brothers loved it (4 is a lot) along w/my dad and mom!
Best smoothie I ever made. Thank u for recipe.
Looks good!
I love it! If your strawberries aren’t too ripe, just add a teaspoon of sugar! :)
Just made some tonight for a snack. It is so good! Can’t wait to make some for my kids tomorrow.
I loveeee this recipe I make it all the time and everyone finishes it right away! And it’s so quick and easy to make! Definitely my favorite smoothie recipe!
Good bye to paying $6.00 for a thin watery smoothie and hello to a thick tasty (and 1/3 cost) home made smoothie… any time day or night and no waiting!
I love this recipe! I’m not real fond of the smell and taste of yogurt so this recipe worked out well. I made a third of the recipe for a single serving for myself and adde some raspberry jam to it. I will definitely make this again!
It was great! I just added a fresh banana and it was the best strawberry smoothie I’ve ever had, I definitely will make this again and recommend this to everyone!
Hello! If your wondering how this tastes, it’s DELISH!! I made it a little different then the recipe (by adding less milk and adding some Greek yogurt) and it was awesome. My sister and mom both loved it and I will def be making this a lot. Thanks!
This smoothie is absolutely incredible. Easy, delicious and healthy. I did notice however that if you exchange the fruit, as OP suggested, raspberries plus raspberry jam really doesn’t work, it makes a very bland smoothie. I very much enjoyed the original strawberry version though, five stars!
Thanks so much!! My 3 year old loves smoothies and they always seem so complicated to make. This is the perfect interchangeable recipe. ❤️
Great! More like a Milkshake then a smoothie.
Best smoothie ever, add some lemon juice fore extra flavor!!!
