Ground ginger provides the perfect balance for the sweet strawberries, mango and banana.

Strawberry season has finally arrived here in Michigan and I could not be more excited!! To celebrate, we visited a local farm about bought two flats (16 quarts) – one for my mother and one for us. I baked 6 pies! Just kidding. I froze most of them to use in smoothies throughout the fall and winter. :)

If you’re curious about freezing berries this summer, it is easier than you think! Follow this step-by-step guide to freezing strawberries and your freezer will be filled with deliciousness in no time.  You can use the same method for raspberries, blueberries, peas and more.

What is your favorite recipe for strawberry season?? We always have big plans for creative ideas but honestly, we love eating them plain. And yes, by “plain” I also mean smashed up with a little sugar on top of a freshly baked shortcake topped with vanilla ice cream.

Happy strawberry season!

    • Aww thank you. Love pretty smoothies.. usually they’re odd looking when I add spinach, cinnamon, etc. :)

  3. I miss Michigan strawberries! I don’t think the strawberries in Washington are quite as good (maybe it’s the rain?) though the small, flavorful berries of the Puget Summer variety are close. I’m always up for a strawberry smoothie recipe, especially one that includes mango. Right now, though, frozen strawberry kefir is the strawberry recipe I’m making the most.

    • Oh thank you for writing in! We definitely are lucky to have our strawberries but I can assure you we don’t take the short season for granted! We are freezing as many as possible!

  6. I freakin’ love strawberry season! Being relatively close to Michigan, I have gotten to enjoy some of the beautiful strawberries from your neck of the woods. I have been eating strawberries just plain for the last few months. Today I think I am trying out a GF cookie with some fresh strawberries tossed in.

  7. I’ve always wondered if I’m supposed to add the chia before blending or not, so I guess sprinkling them on top is the best option? I tend to do the chia gels, then mix them into the smoothie. I’m hooked on chia now, so thanks for this recipe!

    • I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way at all!! I do it both ways but like it a bit crunchy which is why I sprinkle on top. :)

    • Yes!! I totally made it with the mangos from our friends at the Mango Board!! I’m not going to lie, it was nice to have ripe mangos in the house vs frozen which I usually have. Miss you. :) xo

  12. I’ve never been a big fan of chia seeds but I have actually never tried them in a smoothie! I bet they make for a really yummy thick consistency :)
