Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie is a thick, cake-inspired drink that’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a sweet treat on the go.

Smoothies are my favorite way to enjoy a quick breakfast, snack, or sweet treat. They are perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go sipping. Try my Blueberry Smoothie or my Strawberry Banana Smoothie next time you need breakfast on the go!

Sabrina’s Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie Recipe

Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie recipes aren’t the strawberry smoothies you’ll find at most smoothie shops, but the flavors are so good you’ll never go back to the basic strawberry smoothie.

About This Recipe

Since this smoothie is made with Greek yogurt, the slightly sweetened mixture along with the vanilla wafers gives you all the sweetness you need with no added sugars. The protein also gives this smoothie more vanilla flavor and no added guilt when you enjoy this sweet treat.

Ideas to Serve

Smoothies are a fantastic way to enjoy on-the-go (especially if you have little ones or commute to work on public transportation and you’re eating while on the run). They’re also perfect for kids who are picky and won’t eat breakfast. Even more amazing is it is infinitely more desirable than those pouches we all get stuck buying for our little ones. You can also add some Granola to make the smoothie even more filling!

Variations

  • If you want a strawberry banana smoothie, pull back the milk to ½ cup and add in a very ripe banana.
  • For raspberry, add in one pint of raspberries and just a couple of strawberries or half an apple to help bulk up the fruit.
  • Mango fan? Swap out strawberries for one very ripe mango and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
  • Want to throw in something green? I routinely add half a cup of spinach to smoothies when I give them to the kids in non-see-through cups. The pretty pink color won’t shine through as it does in this one, but the flavors are almost the same, and yay for spinach. 
  • For another sweet and creamy smoothie option, you can also try my Chocolate Banana Smoothie.
