At my home, we love smoothies. The children love drinking them—they are a healthy, sweet treat that’s packed with nutrition and filling too! As a mum, I love that I can pack them full of basically everything they need: fruit, protein, fiber, grains! So as far as I am concerned, smoothies are a win-win drink.

This healthy strawberry smoothie is a great breakfast or after school snack, filling up their bellies with nutritious and yet delicious ingredients.

My children absolutely love this simple strawberry smoothie recipe not knowing they are consuming loads of nutrition packed ingredients.

Tips & Variations

I have used fresh strawberries but frozen works the same way.
I have used low fat milk, but you can use skim, whole, or non-dairy milk. You can easily make this strawberry smoothie dairy free by omitting the milk and substituting almond or coconut milk.
Grains are a great source of fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals so you can 1-2 teaspoons of quick oats, ground flax, or wheat bran to give the smoothie a boost.
I have added fresh dates to add sweetness to the smoothie. If you want, you can add sugar, maple syrup or honey.
A banana, cut in chunks, makes the smoothie sweet and creamy without adding extra sugar!
If for whatever reason, your smoothie came out too thick, for example you added a bit more fruit, add a splash of milk or even water, and give it a quick blend.
