Strawberry Smoothie (Recipe + Vitamix Review)

Sharing is caring!

We love smoothies! Do you? Today’s recipe is a Strawberry Smoothie. We just added it to our smoothie recipes lineup, and think you’ll love it! First, I have a confession to make. I like blending, and I’ve been trying to balance my diet with vegetarian, and vegan recipes. Although, I’m not 100% in either camp. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them, right?! Are you ready for the BLENDER of all BLENDERS and an awesome healthy, frothy strawberry smoothie drink recipe?

I used to work in a coffee house. They said you couldn’t make blended drinks with soy? They just don’t come out tasting right. I dare to say, you can! I’ll share how to make this blended strawberry soy drink. But, you can make this with milk or the recipe alternatives listed below. Be sure to subscribe to us, for my upcoming blended soy coffee beverage and other recipes. (coming soon)

STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE 

• Recipe alternatives: If you want you can swap out the soy in the recipe for almond milk, coconut milk, dairy or your favorite milk. 

I can’t tolerate dairy. If I want a big gulping glass of goodness I make nondairy smoothies. If you like to blend too I’m so happy you found today’s post for our strawberry drink recipe. Also, nothing says summer, (and spring) like fresh strawberries, and blending. 

• if strawberries are out of season just grab frozen, and omit or reduce the ice. 

Strawberry Drink

Do you like Smoothies? You might like some of our previous smoothies. These are fresh fruit, and juice smoothies.

What you’ll need for today’s strawberry smoothie. Think of it as a Strawberry Julius but, with soy. (The printable recipe is in the post below) and (video).

Ingredients 

• 1 cup to 2 cups Soy Milk – depending on how thick you like it. Start with 1 cup, and adjust as needed. (Milk options: soy milk, almond milk, vanilla milk)
• 1 cup hulled strawberries (it is not necessary to cut them in half)
• 1 cup ice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• organic honey (1 tsp. or more if you like sweeter) (another favorite is Wild Flower Honey)

Alternatives to the recipe: Add half a banana. Try adding vanilla protein powder. Like many of our other smoothie recipes, we love mixing other berries such as raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. But, for today’s smoothie just strawberries.

• Start with a clean blender, then follow the directions below. This blends up 1 serving size of about 12-16 ounces *depending on the amount of milk/ice.
• The carafe of this Vitamix blender is 48 ounces so the recipe can be easily doubled, even tripled. Are you looking for a new blender? Check out this beauty, perfect for all your blending needs. 

Look at the blender not, my counters. Every time I see the kitchen counters I cringe. We are replacing them sooner or later. Can it be sooner? I can’t wait! I’ll just look at my beautiful blender instead of my counters. OK, problem solved, momentarily that is! lol 

How to Make a Strawberry Smoothie 

Directions

1. Pour measured soy into the blender carafe
2. Add ice
3. Then add hulled strawberries, vanilla, and honey (we just happened to have pre hulled, and halved our strawberries since we got a crate, and are making more strawberry recipes.)
4. Lid your blender, and you are ready to blend
5. Start on low, then move dial up to 6 on your Vitamix blender for about 19 seconds
6. Pour and serve! (Adjust milk amount to your taste. I know some people like it thick, and others not so thick.)

The Vitamix is super FAST, and the seeds well blended are gone. Ahem! See it in action blending up this strawberry smoothie with soy.

Things you can blend in a Vitamix 

Salsas, like this mango salsa, and strawberry salsa recipe I can’t wait to make these in the blender. Talk about saving a bunch of chopping. Do you like salsa? 

We love soups year-round. Do you? What if you could blend up your soups? Yes, yes, yes. Did you know the friction from the Vitamix blenders’ blades can give you steaming-hot soup in under 10 minutes, right in the container? I didn’t either. (IT’s getting HOT in here)

Out of peanut butter but, have nuts on hand? Get blending them! CRAZY, easy homemade nut butter, you can make in your blender. Yes, yes! Check, and double-check. I can’t wait to try this. 

Love Pasta dishes? You can blend your brick of Parmesan Cheese. Fresh is better.

Vitamix Blender Review 

Why am I so excited? I have been eyeing the Vitamix Blender forever. Yes, I have had other blenders but, this is the MOTHER of All Blenders! Why? Because whether you are blending up a smoothie, a dinner, or brunch recipe this blender is going to SAVE YOU TIME in the kitchen. It is POWERFUL and QUICK!

Repeat, POWERFUL and QUICK. A few other reasons to love this blender? We can make our favorite DIY Beauty Recipes in it! IT CAN TAKE THE HEAT! It can make your beauty recipes so SMOOTH as butter if needed. (Dare I say Smooth Operator?)

How the Self Cleaning Feature on the Vitamix Blender works 

Not to mention, the self-cleaning option! Oh, snap! 30 seconds, a drop of soap and add water, blend. Then rinse, and this blender is squeaky clean. It doesn’t get any easier.

Are you looking for THE WAY TO YOUR FOODIES HEART? Or do you know One HOT COOKING MAMA who wants more time out of the kitchen? Looking for a WEDDING GIFT?

Consider getting THEM A VITAMIX BLENDER. (You can grab Vitamix recipes, and Vitamix smoothie recipes on their site too.) Short, and Sweet it does it ALL.

I’ve had the blended several weeks now and blended something daily. How do I know, not having it for very long? Two of my daughters have them too. I’ve used them at their houses too, and it’s always been on my MUST HAVE SMALL KITCHEN APPLIANCE LIST. Oh, Big Papa (or Mama) throw your hands in the air if you are a true blender. 

I’m naming my VITAMIX. Don’t you name your appliances? 

Need I say more.? Clears throat…YES! Oh, mamas, it can make baby food! (gone are those days for me but, hey I used to make baby food, and you can too.) My daughter loved to blend baby food, and then freeze them in ice cube trays. When frozen date your freezer bag, and pop them in, seal and freeze. Take out to use as needed. What a time saver for new moms, right?! Grab a few friends, and go in on a Vitamix for a baby shower gift. 

• Yes, I might be slightly excited (over-excited) about this blender but, wouldn’t you be if you got one as a gift? 

FOODIES, MOMS, DADS will love this too! It’s a MUST HAVE APPLIANCE for your KITCHEN. 

• It’s going to speed things up in the kitchen. Dear Vitamix, YOU COMPLETE ME. xo Theresa. Somebody might be in the dog house for not getting me one sooner. Sorry, Charlie.
