Besides this Healthy Strawberry Smoothie, we also love this Orange Avocado Smoothie – it is like a healthy creamsicle! Want a more classic recipe?

IN THIS POST: Everything you need to make a Healthy Strawberry Smoothie

Ingredients for this recipe

  • almond milk – any non-dairy milk
  • hemp seeds – this gives the smoothie a creamy texture
  • strawberries – frozen strawberries work best for frothy smoothies – many are frozen from fresh strawberries
  • vanilla
  • maple syrup – this lends a bit of added sweetness
  • ice cubes

You may notice that there is no yogurt or ice cream in this recipe. Using plain yogurt, greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt is pretty common and I have lots of smoothie recipes that use them like this Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie. For this recipe though, we are making a healthy strawberry smoothie without yogurt so if you are vegan or avoiding dairy this one is for you.

How to make this recipe

Add the ingredients to a blender in the order they listed – meaning put the liquid in first. This helps the blending process go much smoother. Blend until creamy and frothy and serve chilled.

FAQ’S, Tips + Substitutions

  • Are strawberry smoothies healthy? Using healthy ingredients means a healthy smoothie!
  • TIP! Add the liquid to the blender first and the berries last. Everything blends together easier with the liquid at the bottom.
  • For flavor variations, you can use different frozen fruit like mango or pineapple or add a variety of berries like blueberries or raspberries.
  • Substitute honey for the maple syrup as a natural sweetener, just remember that it is no longer considered vegan.
  • Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green smoothie variation
  • Any milk will work! Other plant-based options include coconut milk or hemp milk.
  • Blend in a scoop of chocolate protein powder for a chocolate strawberry taste.

  1. Hi!

    What a terrific recipe! My kids are going to love this! Question, if I make a big batch (say to serve 6-8) how long would it keep in the refrigerator? Thanks for the awesome recipe!

    1. Hey Heather! For smoothies fresh is always best, but I would imagine it depends on the date of your almond milk. It should be fine in the fridge, sealed for the same amount of time. Be sure to give it a good shake, and keep it cold. 🙂 I hope the kiddos love it!!

  2. Thank you for mentioning that about Robin William’s, .
    I too have been very affected by his death, of course I did not know him personally but the sadness and grief and yes somewhat depression in hearing the news of his passing that I have been feeling , has been as if I had lost someone I knew, that I was close to. Well we were all close to him in a way because he brought some much joy and laughter into our beings, he was unique, one of a kind comedian, no-one will ever make me “howl” and cry with laughter as he did.
    What a beautiful soul he was (still is) with such a kind, loving heart.
    Thank you Robin, This World will always love and miss you.

    1. Thank you, Angela. I knew I wasn’t alone in my feelings. It’s funny sometimes with celebrities because, obviously, they are not friends or family but because they can be a part of our every day lives it does have effects when they pass away. Especially under such tragic, possibly preventable circumstances. Thanks for your comment. I’m starting to feel less sad. I hope you are, too. 🙂

  3. This smoothie looks AWESOME! For me it is like a healthy dessert! Thanks for sharing, Sharon 😉

  4. Sharon, this milkshake looks so delicious! Good foods like this always make me feel better and can really change my mood for the better. Thanks for sharing

  5. It’s truly sad news about Robin Williams. 🙁 I love your positive outlook on life Sharon!

    p.s. Zoey runs from the blender too…I now say, Zoey it’s noisy time! 😉 She books it before I even get the blender on. lolz!
