- Add a boost: Blend in a handful of spinach, a spoonful of nut butter, chia seeds, or protein powder.
- Make it dairy free: Use a dairy free yogurt and plant milk.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

Serving Ideas and Suggestions
This yogurt fruit smoothie is a perfect grab and go breakfast or afternoon snack on its own. Pour it into a tall glass with a straw, or into a bowl and top with granola and fresh fruit for a smoothie bowl.
Round out a brunch spread by serving it alongside our banana cream cheese muffins or a stack of pancakes. It also makes a refreshing pairing with savory breakfasts like scrambled eggs and bacon.
For an extra special treat, blend a thicker batch and serve it as a smoothie bowl topped with granola, coconut, and a drizzle of our pistachio cream. It is a fun way to make breakfast feel like dessert.
These smoothies are also great for meal prep.

However you serve it, it is a wholesome way to sneak in extra fruit, protein, and calcium for the whole family.
Yogurt Fruit Smoothie FAQs
This yogurt fruit smoothie is made with Greek vanilla yogurt, frozen banana, fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, and a splash of milk, all blended until smooth and creamy. It is naturally sweetened by the fruit, so there is no need for added sugar, and you can swap in any fruit you have on hand.
Use frozen fruit and frozen yogurt, and add the milk slowly. Frozen banana especially gives a thick, creamy, milkshake like texture without any ice.
Absolutely. Use all blueberries in place of the mixed berries for a classic blueberry yogurt smoothie, or keep the strawberries for a mixed berry version.
Greek yogurt adds the most creaminess and protein, and vanilla flavored adds a little sweetness. Plain or any flavor works, and dairy free yogurt makes it vegan.
Smoothies are best fresh, but you can prep freezer packs of the fruit and yogurt ahead so all you do is add milk and blend. You can also refrigerate a blended smoothie for up to a day in a sealed jar, then shake well before drinking, or freeze it into popsicles for a frozen treat.
Use an immersion blender right in a tall cup, or mash very ripe banana and soft berries with a fork and whisk in the yogurt and milk for a chunkier drink.
