If you do a search on Happy Healthy Mama for “strawberry,” you’ll get eleven pages of results. I have a serious obsession with strawberries and when it’s the time of year where these plump, sweet berries are cheap and in season, I have no problem putting them in everything.
I thought it was the perfect time of year to pull some of my favorite strawberry recipes out of the archives and highlight them for you. Some of these are really old, and the photography reflects that, but don’t judge the recipes on my photography skills. Those old recipes with dark or awkwardly composed pictures deserve your attention, especially if you love strawberries.
Now, when you buy two pounds of strawberries on sale and are wondering what you’ll do with them all, you have at least twenty recipes to consider. From breakfast to dessert to lunch or dinner, there’s something here for everyone. Enjoy!

Lots of nutrition in these lovely muffins, AND you can make them without oil if you choose. Plus chocolate.

This one is light, refreshing-tasting (it has mint!) and has summer salad written all over it. You’ll love this oldie but goodie.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry “Milkshake” (gluten-free, vegan)
Save the calories and make this when you’re craving a milkshake. Chocolate+strawberries can do no wrong.
Tart-sweet and so much fun for summer! Meghan loves to help me make this and it’s a total treat for my family.
Every time I make this quick and easy appetizer, I get a request for the recipe. If you’ve never tried strawberry and basil together, try this one for your next party!
Strawberry Spinach Salad with Balsamic Dressing
Chicken Strawberry Salad (gluten-free)
This is a unique and delicious way to make chicken salad! It’s perfect wrapped in a crisp piece of lettuce. I wish I had a baby or wedding shower to host just so I could make this salad.

You don’t even need an ice cream maker for this creamy and almost vegan (sweetened with honey) treat! The strawberry flavor shines through here and the whole family loves this.

This healthy summertime dessert will have you loving the strawberry-rhubarb combination if you don’t already!
This is one of my favorite posts on my whole site, because it highlights one of my favorite memories with Meghan in the last few months before Luke was born. Plus, delicious strawberry jam that’s naturally sweetened and much lower sugar than most all homemade jam recipes.
No-Bake Dessert Pizza (gluten-free)
This healthy Fruit Dessert Pizza is one of my favorite treats! The chocolate crust is incredible and all the fresh fruit makes this a perfect summer dessert.
See, I put strawberries in absolutely everything! This is for so much more than chips. It’s excellent on top of grilled fish or chicken, too.

I am telling you, strawberry+basil is awesome. Please try this infused water combination!

I’m obsessed with strawberries too. Probably my number one favorite berry. It’s a tie between them and blueberries. I want everything on this list! Especially those strawberry shortcake energy balls. So clever and sounds delicious!

Thanks Sarah! Every time I make them, my family gobbles them up in a day.
