How To Make A Strawberry Smoothie
This is a fun, simple treat for any occasion, but it makes a good breakfast snack or meal.
- Add all the ingredients to your blender.
- Give the mixture 5-10 pulses until combined and the frozen strawberries are well incorporated.
- Pour into cups and serve!
Recipe Substitutions
- This recipe doubles, triples, and even quadruples very well. This is good because everyone’s going to want one!
- If you’re lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with almond, soy, oat, coconut, or other plant-based milk.
- Instead of using regular yogurt, you can use Greek yogurt, coconut milk yogurt, or any other yogurt alternatives.
- To reduce the sugar content, replace the sweetened yogurt with unsweetened yogurt or Greek yogurt and add a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup to taste.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruits like blueberries, raspberries, mangoes, peaches, or bananas to create unique variations, or use the ones below!

Protein-Packed:

Storage & Serving Tips
SERVE: Like any smoothie, a strawberry smoothie is best served immediately.
STORE: The leftover smoothie will be kept in the refrigerator for 12 hours. You may need to stir it before drinking because it may have separated.
FREEZE: Strawberry smoothies freeze very well. In fact, for a fun frozen breakfast treat, I like to pour the smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze it overnight. But, of course, my kids flip out when I tell them they can have a popsicle for breakfast!
