Strawberry Smoothie FAQs & Tips
Strawberry smoothie recipes usually include strawberries and yogurt and/or milk. Additional add-ins like protein powder, greens, or natural sweeteners are also common.
Bananas are often mixed with strawberries, but blueberries, mango, pineapple, peaches, kiwi, and oranges would all pair well with strawberries.
Add yogurt for a thicker smoothie and add milk as needed depending on your desired consistency.
Yes! Use a high powered blender like a Vitamix for best results or a food processor.

My favorite smoothie to have after a workout!

This was the perfect blend. I used your recipe for cashew milk instead of the almond milk. Delicious!

Silly question. I am not a fan of bananas (I know I am weird). What you would substitute to get that natural sweet flavor?
Erin says
You could maybe try adding a few dates!
