Simple Strawberry Smoothie Recipe
Description
The Simple Strawberry Smoothie Recipe combines three main ingredients: frozen strawberries, strawberry jam, and milk. Blending these together yields a smooth beverage with both the fresh tartness of the berries and the sweetness intensified by the jam. The use of frozen strawberries provides natural chilling and thickness to the texture, while the milk contributes creaminess and dilutes the intensity slightly for balance. This smoothie requires minimal steps: simply blending the components until smooth.
Its straightforward ingredients and preparation make it suitable for a quick snack or light breakfast beverage. The berry flavor and creamy mouthfeel can refresh and satisfy without added complexity.
To vary the flavor, the original notes suggest experimenting by switching the strawberry jam and frozen fruit to alternatives like blackberry preserves with frozen blackberries or mango jelly with frozen mango chunks, offering different fruit profiles using the same method.
Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberry frozen
- 1 1/2 cups milk any variety
- 1/3 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Place the frozen strawberries, strawberry jam and milk in the blender.
- Place the lid over the top.
- Puree until smooth.
Notes
- Frozen fruit can be swapped with other berries like blackberries or mango pieces paired with matching preserves to change up the flavor.
- Use the jam to add sweetness and intensify the strawberry taste, but adjust quantity if you prefer a less sweet smoothie.
