How many calories are in a skinny strawberry shortcake smoothie?

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Frozen unsweetened strawberries are recommended because they act as a natural thickener and prevent the smoothie from becoming watery. If you use fresh strawberries, the smoothie will be thinner; you can add a few ice cubes to compensate, though the texture will be different.
