Berry Jam Smoothie

This Berry Jam Smoothie is the perfect balance of sweet and healthy! Use your favorite jam with fresh strawberries and raspberries to make a tangy smoothie with just five ingredients.

I know breakfast is important, but I often skip the first meal of the day unless it’s a big breakfast spread. However, these Berry Jam Smoothies changed that for me! I can easily make these 5-ingredient smoothies with fresh fruit, a little yogurt, jam, and a splash of milk. 

It’s sweet, creamy, and a little decadent. It’s also very filling! I only had a small glass of it, and I was full. Even John liked it and asked for seconds! I use raspberries and strawberries in this berry smoothie, but you could always grab blueberries or blackberries, too! The more, the merrier. 

Ingredients

The full printable recipe card with measurements and instructions is found at the bottom of the post.

• Vanilla yogurt: I love the added sweetness of vanilla yogurt. If you want a little more tang, swap this for plain yogurt!
• Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are perfectly sweet for a kid-friendly smoothie. There is no need to dice them — let the blender do the work for you.
• Raspberries: I need a little tart in my smoothies, and raspberries are the perfect addition! 
• Jam: Stick with strawberry jam or preserves if you like your smoothies sweeter. If you wanna boost the tartness, use a raspberry jam option. I prefer jam to jelly because of the consistency. Use your favorite brand or whatever’s in the fridge!
• Milk: You can always add water, but milk adds a little extra creaminess to the berry smoothie. I use cow’s milk, but any liquid, from almond milk to apple juice, will work!

How to Make a Berry Jam Smoothie

• Step One: Add all the ingredients to your blender, and make sure the lid is sealed. No one wants to scrape strawberries off the ceiling!
• Step Two: Blend on your preferred setting until smooth. If it gets too thick, you can add more milk or jam. If it’s too runny, add a little more fruit! 

I also like to serve my berry jam smoothies with a fresh strawberry or raspberry on top. Everyone loves the extra fresh fruit! 

Do You Have to Put Ice in a Smoothie?

You need some frozen chunks if you want consistency other than liquid for your smoothies. However, ice is just one thing you can use!

I don’t like how the ice waters down my smoothies, so I leave it out. However, I sometimes use frozen fruit to thicken the mix and keep the same yummy flavor.

You can buy frozen fruit or freeze anything fresh in your kitchen! If you’re freezing your own fruit, let it set on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet before moving it to an airtight container. This helps keep each piece separate instead of one large block of fruit ice! 

What To Serve With This

I love this smoothie recipe because it’s perfect for breakfasts, snacks, and desserts!

If you need more breakfast on-the-go recipes, these pumpkin breakfast cookies are the easiest! You can make a batch on Sunday and be set for breakfast all week!

Smoothie bowls are just as easy and versatile, too! I love this grapefruit smoothie bowl topped with fresh blueberries, pineapple, coconut, and chia seeds. You could make this berry smoothie into a bowl by ditching the milk!

I love making these spicy egg muffins! They’re packed with flavor and perfect for meal prep.
