Scale
Liquids
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup yogurt
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh fruit (such as berries, banana, mango, or apple)
- 2 cups frozen fruit (thawed for 5-10 minutes, such as mixed berries, pineapple, or peaches)
Optional
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (optional, such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar)
- Optional add-ins such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, protein powder, or spinach (see note)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the milk into a blender, then add the yogurt, fresh fruit, frozen fruit, sweetener if using, and any optional add-ins. If using a traditional blender, add ingredients in this order; if using a personal blender, add ingredients in reverse order for better blending.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients together on high speed until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no chunks left and the texture is creamy.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their best.
Notes
- Thaw frozen fruit for 5-10 minutes before blending to ease blending and improve texture.
- Sweetener is optional; adjust to your taste or omit for a naturally sweet smoothie.
- Optional add-ins can include seeds like chia or flaxseeds, protein powder, leafy greens like spinach, or nut butters to boost nutrition.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk or a splash of water to adjust consistency.
- Use any combination of fresh and frozen fruits based on seasonality and preference.
