Whip up this 6-ingredient sweet and creamy, strawberry raspberry smoothie in 5 minutes to make the most of juicy summer berries! It’s a refreshing, nutrient-packed treat perfect any time of day.
Smoothies might honestly be one of the best inventions. Creamy, naturally sweet, satisfying, good for you, and ready in minutes. I’ve made smoothies for years — they were a daily habit before kids and are now a favorite snack for the whole family. I love experimenting with combinations, and berry blends always win at our house.
When summer arrives, local strawberries and raspberries are at their peak and pair perfectly in this creamy pink smoothie. It’s bright, refreshing, and packed with vitamins and fiber.
Why You’ll Love this Strawberry Raspberry Smoothie Recipe
- This smoothie is nutrient-dense: strawberries and raspberries are full of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, giving you a good dose of vitamin C and other essentials.
- Speedy and simple: it takes about five minutes — just add ingredients to a blender and blend.
- Versatile: adapt it however you like. Add a frozen banana for extra creaminess, a handful of greens for added nutrients, or a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout boost.
Ingredient Notes
Milk
Use your preferred milk: almond, oat, coconut, cow’s milk, soy — all work. For a richer texture choose whole milk or nut milk like almond or cashew. If you prefer not to use milk, coconut water or orange juice can be nice alternatives.
Greek Yogurt
Plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; full-fat gives the richest texture. If you use sweetened yogurt, reduce or omit the honey. For dairy-free options, substitute a plant-based yogurt or omit it entirely.
Strawberries & Raspberries
Frozen fruit is my go-to for smoothies — it creates a cold, thick texture without diluting flavor like ice can. Frozen strawberries and raspberries give this smoothie a frosty, creamy consistency.
TIP: To freeze fruit for smoothies, spread pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid (about an hour). Transfer to a freezer bag for storage.
Honey
A touch of honey balances the tart berries. Adjust to taste or swap for maple syrup, agave, or a sugar-free sweetener. Skip it if you prefer less sweetness or use a sweetened yogurt.
Vanilla
Pure vanilla extract enhances and rounds out the flavor.
Optional Add-Ins
- Protein: add a tablespoon of nut butter, a scoop of protein powder, or powdered peanut butter.
- Veggies: toss in a handful of spinach or kale.
- Fiber: stir in chia seeds, ground flax, or a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds or dates.

Order of ingredients
To protect your blender motor, add ingredients in this order:
- Start with liquids (milk).

- Finish with frozen fruit and any sweeteners or flavorings.
Making a Strawberry Raspberry Smoothie Bowl
To make a bowl, reduce or omit the milk so the mixture is thicker. Pour into a bowl and top with granola, chia seeds, fresh fruit, nut butter, or any favorites. It’s delicious from a glass or a bowl.
Storage Instructions
This smoothie is best enjoyed right away but will keep in the fridge for about a day.
Meal prep tips
Make smoothie packs by portioning the measured dry and frozen ingredients (not the milk or yogurt) into freezer bags. When ready, add a pack to the blender with milk and yogurt and blend.
Or freeze the finished smoothie in an ice cube tray, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag, and blend with a splash of milk when you want a fresh drink.
