There are many different types of smoothies, but today I am going to show you how to make strawberry smoothie with frozen strawberries. Smoothies with frozen strawberries will remain cold much longer. This is perfect for a warm day when you don’t feel like drinking a cold smoothie. The frozen strawberries will take the place of ice cubes and ensure that your smoothie is nice and cool.

For a refreshing fruity snack or breakfast that even picky eaters will love, make a strawberry smoothie. It’s nutritious, with vitamins and nutrients from the fruit as well as protein from yogurt, but it’s also fun and sweet enough to serve as a frosty dessert. Swap out your next milkshake for this smoothie, and you won’t be disappointed.

A strawberry smoothie can be made with fresh or frozen strawberries. If you’re using fresh berries, add a few ice cubes to cool it down. If you’re using frozen strawberries, look for presliced frozen strawberries, since they are easier to blend. Whole berries will work, too; just make sure to blend long enough to achieve a smooth consistency. If you have a high-powered blender, smoothie making will go a lot easier than if you use an old-fashioned blender that tends to have a more difficult time completely incorporating all the ingredients, especially ones that are frozen. Try using a food processor if you’re not sure if your blender is up to the task, or use all fresh fruit in your smoothie and add the ice at the very end of the blending process.

Serve immediately or pour into an insulated cup with a straw and take it with you. Smoothies are a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack, especially on a hot day, and kids will love this perfectly sweet strawberry version.

“This was a delicious smoothie—cold, refreshing, and healthy. The recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups, which should be enough for 2 servings (or a generous adult serving). All of the ingredients are natural and there are no added sweeteners. I used whole milk yogurt, but low-fat would work as well.

Simple Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

Strawberry Smoothie Recipe: The best smoothie because it is SO simple. It requires only 3 ingredients and a minute to make!

Complicating Simple Things

Let’s talk about this Simple Strawberry Smoothie Recipe…

Sometimes we complicate things on purpose. In an effort to seem more sophisticated or elegant, we make life harder than it has to be.

High heels are a perfect example of this.

Yes, they make your calves look great and are cute-as-heck. But they are also extremely bad for your back, uncomfortable, slightly dangerous, and make climbing stairs nearly impossible. We wear them anyway, praying we won’t fall over or twist our ankle.

This sort of thing happens in the culinary world as well.

Take Beef Wellington. It is completely delightful, but is it really worth all the time and preparation that goes into a good Beef Wellington? Is it more delicious than a great seared steak with sauteed mushrooms? Is the “glitz” factor really worth all the extra work?

Not in my opinion.

A Simple Strawberry Smoothie

The other day I was flipping through one of my favorite cooking magazines and noticed a strawberry smoothie recipe. It immediately caught my attention because of the vast array of ingredients, 15 grocery items to be exact.

I stopped in wonder. “Who in their right mind is going to go to the store and buy 15 items just to make smoothies?”

Some smoothie-makers like to add protein powder, flax, or minerals to their smoothies to up the health benefits, but I wasn’t fooled. My beloved magazine was putting on airs to dress up a simple strawberry smoothie.

Like wearing heels with your gym shorts, this just doesn’t make sense.

How to Make a Strawberry Smoothie

So today I want to share a Simple Strawberry Smoothie Recipe that has nothing to prove. I believe this to be the best strawberry smoothie recipe because:

1. It requires only 3 ingredients.
2. The ingredients can be changed to suit your taste or diet.
3. It’s thick and creamy.
4. And it has DOUBLE the flavor of regular smoothies.

All you need is:

• Milk
• Frozen strawberries
• Strawberry jam

Simply throw them all into a good blender and whirr away!

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.

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. You could also use sugar-free jam or “spreadable fruit” to decrease the sugar levels.

And of course, use ANY sort of frozen fruit and jam to make this “best” smoothie recipe your flavor of choice… Raspberry, blackberry, mango, the sky is the limit.

This simple strawberry smoothie recipe is proof that glitz and glamor can take you only so far. Sometimes the simple choice provides the greatest pleasure.
