“This is great! It’s so tasty and so low in calories… and it’s healthy! It’s not bitter at all, and the milk gives it a great milkshake flavor. So excited to try this with mango!” —Claire

If your smoothie tastes too tart, add a spoonful of extra honey or a bit of vanilla extract to balance it out!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Jump to the recipe card for all measurements. This is just an overview!

  • Frozen Strawberries: While you can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe, I prefer using frozen. They make the smoothie icy cold!
  • Milk: You can use any milk (dairy or non-dairy) here. Almond milk is a great lower-calorie option here.
  • Honey: A dash of honey adds the perfect sweetness to this healthy strawberry smoothie. You can also swap sugar or a low-calorie sweetener like stevia.
  • Vanilla Extract: Completely transforms the flavor into something like strawberry pie!

Skip the ice!

I prefer to use frozen strawberries over ice in this smoothie! Frozen fruit is often more affordable, especially when berries aren’t in season. Plus, they give the smoothie a frosty, thick texture without ice! Ice tends to make smoothies watery and never seems to break down all the way in a blender.

    Delicious! Not too sweet, but not too bland.

  9. Kate says:

    What if people are a vegan Strawberry smoothie, replace the yogurt with full-fat coconut milk. I like to freeze it in ice cube trays to make the smoothie extra-thick and frosty. What would I do then.

    1. Sarah Bond says:

      That sounds like a great idea! 😀
