Easy Fruit Smoothie Recipe

Fruit Smoothie Ingredients

• Frozen Fruit – Feel free to choose any type of frozen fruit. My favorite is the mixed berry
• Greek Yogurt – I usually use the plain Greek yogurt but flavored yogurt works just as well.
• Water – This is added to help blend all the ingredients together smoothly.

How to Make a Smoothie with Frozen Fruit

Step 1 – First, put the water in the blender.

Step 2 – Add in yogurt.

Step 3 – Next, add the frozen fruit. Place on lid and blend for a few minutes until it is smooth.

Step 3 – Add 1 cup of ice into the blender ½ cup at a time and blend between each addition until the smoothie is the consistency that you prefer. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Additions and Variations

• Try mixing flavors and don’t be scared to try new fruits. Fresh fruit or frozen fruit they both make the best smoothie.
• Sweetness – If you need add in sweetness we recommend adding in honey or a sweetener of your choice.
• I love adding in spinach to my smoothies. You will be surprised that you can’t taste the spinach at all. If you use just a little, it doesn’t turn the mixture green if you have children that might be resistant. A few of my kids are extra picky so I use the mixed berry frozen fruit to sneak in spinach.
• This berry blend has blueberries, blackberries and strawberries so it’s much darker. Adding in the spinach with some extra fruit your kids won’t even know that spinach as been added. If your kids are like this, you might try this blend first.
• You can add chia seeds or flax seed for even more nutrition.
• Try coconut milk or almond milk for the liquid. We have even added in oat milk or cashew milk for a diary-free option.
• Sometimes when I use banana, I will also throw in some peanut butter.
• Another trick I have is to freeze my bananas. It makes the smoothie taste like a frosty. This is also a good way to use up bananas that might be going bad soon. Chop them up and freeze them.
• Frozen Strawberry and Banana smoothie is my go-to smoothie recipe.
• Protein powder. Add a scoop for more protein. I like using vanilla protein powder with frozen strawberries and almond milk.
• These are all great options. This basic fruit flavor smoothie recipe is so easy to adapt or change based on preference or what you have on hand. I have even added in carrots and a cucumber for added flavor.

Tips for the Best Smoothie

• Adding Liquid – We like to use milk because we like it creamy but you can also use coconut water, orange juice, water, or apple juice.
• Adding Ingredients – Add the liquid in first and then add in fruit. Blend the ingredients then add in the ice. If you fruit is frozen then you may not need as much ice.
• Smoothie consistency – You may need to add more water or ice depending on the consistency that you want. Continue blending until smooth.
