How Do You Make a Smoothie With Frozen Strawberries?
Frozen strawberries in smoothies add to a thick consistency and texture, which makes them like a strawberry shake.
Options:
- Buy frozen strawberries and measure and add to your smoothie. I prefer organic since they are processed with fewer pesticides per the EWG list.
- Or freeze freshly picked or farm fresh strawberries to add to your smoothie. Place strawberries on a baking pan with parchment paper. Add the strawberries and freeze for several hours. Place in a resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer.
Tip: if possible, before adding frozen strawberries to your blender, cut into small pieces.
Whole strawberries can tax the blender and take longer to blend, especially if not using a high powered blender as I am in this post.

Favorite Smoothie Add-ins:
I usually do not measure, but toss in a pinch or more. What’s great is that the add-ins don’t change the flavor of the smoothie, but add some nutrients.
- Hemp seeds (a teaspoon for an individual smoothie)
- Spinach (fresh or frozen) just a tablespoon or two.
- Dulse flakes
- Ground flax seeds
- Chia seeds
- Cacao nibs
- Ice cubes (to make thicker and more frothy)
