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:

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.

Amazing thought it would be terrible kids love it!
Lol. I love how all these smoothie recipes masquerade as healthy by adding “strawberry” or some fruit to the title. It’s like…milk…CHECK…strawberries…CHECK…so far so good looking healthy….strawberry jam….WHAT?! Might as well just have cake with all the sugar instead of trying to make yourself feel better by calling it a smoothie.
That’s silly. It still has nutritional value (unlike cake).
Can I use water instead of milk??
Hi Janis,
I suggest using almond or soy milk, if you prefer to not use dairy. Water will give it a strange texture.
Hey, I was wondering how many strawberries you had to add?
Thanks xx
trying it now, come back for results
It’s delicious! A great after-workout snack. I love it!
Super simple and yummy. I made 1/3 of the recipe for just a single smoothie and it was simple and delicious. I used almond milk and just added enough for the thickness I wanted. Will try with bananas in the future as well!
This is the best strawberry smoothie I have ever had.
I’ve read the views and everyone is saying how amazing it is so I’m going to try make this In a couple of minutes and I’ll update how it went when I come back
