It’s springtime, strawberry season is upon us, and the weather is sunny and gorgeous in San Diego.
I had a great run this morning outside and came in and took a look at the frozen strawberries in the freezer and knew I had to use them.
I wanted something blended and sweet and creamy to quench my thirst.
This did the trick.
Strawberry seeds in my teeth and all.
It’s not a revolutionary “recipe”, but it sure is good.
It only takes a minute to make, and even less to drink. A blessing and a curse.
The only thing that would have made this better would have been adding a shot of rum or Malibu.
But it was 10am so I refrained.
I made a double batch, poured it into a bowl, put it in the freezer and later on tonight when I am watching Million Dollar Listing or a DVR’ed episode of The Real Housewives or Bethenny (yes, I love Bravo), I can shovel it into my mouth with a spoon as a strawberries ‘n cream “ice cream”
Hopefully I eat it slower with a spoon than I drank it with my straw because this was gone in a flash.

Strawberries and Cream Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 to 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries, big handful, fresh may be used although ice may be necessary
- ¼ cup milk or cream, use your favorite milk or vegan milk, i.e. coconut milk cream, soy cream, etc.
- sweetenter, to taste (sugar, stevia, agave, etc.)
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Depending on how many strawberries you used, their size, your blender, and your desired smoothie thickness and consistency, you may need more than 1/4 cup cream (I used about 1/2 cup), or add a splash of water, to reach desired consistency.
- Serve immediately. Leftover portion may be stored in the freezer for later consumption for up to 2 months. The smoothie does not change consistency and taste is not effected upon thawing.

Do you like strawberries? Do you have a favorite strawberry recipe or way to use them?
I wait all year for strawberry season, and then, all at once, there are so many.
There are usually sales on berries when they are in season, and it’s always tempting to cash in on the savings. Til I realize I just bought 3 pounds of berries and wonder what am I going to make with all these berries.

There are no words to describe how in love with smoothie I’am.
HI Averie. I made this smoothie today for my kids and they LOVED it. So yummy! Sometimes the simplest things are the best.
Where did you get that glass straw? I so need one of those to go in my Lifefactory bottle.
they’re called glass dharma and I have them linked up in the kitchen section of my store, pages 2 & 3, all different kinds

Glad the smoothie was a hit!!
Every recipe looks so good. Wow.
Thanks, Kayleigh!
Yummy! Now I am craving a smoothie.
This is not vegan…it has cream?
what do you suggest to make it ACTUALLY vegan?
Did you read the recipe where I wrote
“1/4 cup + cream (half and half, milk, coconut milk cream, soy cream, etc.)”
And I gave links to the various vegan products. I used vegan cream in mine and it was lovely. So yes, it is vegan. But many people don’t care about vegan cream and they have cow’s milk cream but I gave options for a WIDE variety of preferences.
I’m excited to try your Strawberries and Cream Smoothie recipe later today.
I’m off to whole foods right now!
Thanks for the recipe,

XOXOXOXOXO
enjoy and LMK if you make it!
Yummy! This looks so terrific!
I’m not as big of a fan of strawberries in their whole form, but I love strawberry smoothies and strawberry “fro-yo” and what not. Or even chocolate-covered strawberries! Although since it’s currently snowing I can’t really get into the Spring spirit. I’m so jealous of your warm weather!
Totally addicted to Bravo as well and I’m not even mad about it :)
Looks so refreshing and delicious! Matches your blog, too ;)
thanks my friend! and good luck with all your bloggie changes, too!
Simplicity is always best. That strawberry smoothie looks like it would really hit the spot right now! What a fun addition to a morning.
Everything looks so beautiful my mouth is watering!!
Gorgeous! I have a lot of frozen strawberries at home just waiting for something like this!!
LMK if you make it!
I love million dollar listing. So fun to watch and dream! Although I’m not sure I’d be happy in a house like that, I kinda like small and cute…
some of those houses ARE small in NYC…the square footage on some of them is pretty modest…the price tags..are not!
