The flavor of the strawberries I picked were so sweet tasting, it was incredible.

To make a smoothie it’s often best to use some frozen fruit. Starting off with great tasting fruit is key!

I rinsed, sliced and froze some strawberries, this helps the smoothie stay nice and cold, it helps thicken it and makes if it’s possible made the sweet strawberry flavor even better!

Personally, I love fresh strawberries.

I asked at the strawberry farm what variety of strawberries they grew and there was a whole list she said.

These strawberries were not only amazing tasting some were huge!

For a minute I thought of growing my own, but I don’t really have a green thumb, and I don’t think I’d be able to do a better job than them at growing them.

  1. Wow, this looks so delicious, I can’t wait to pick up some fresh strawberries at the roadside stand nearby and make some. Looks thick like a milkshake, but without all the calories.

  2. Smoothies are my thing, and I usually add so many things to them, I really like how this is such a simple delicious flavor, I need to get some great strawberries to make it, I like not adding sugar too!

  3. I made this and it’s great. I used to eat ice cream almost every day but this tastes just like strawberry ice cream! No need to buy that unhealthy stuff anymore.
