Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup yogurt
  • 1 cup Fresh fruit
  • 2 cups frozen fruit thawed for 5-10 minutes
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener optional
  • optional add-ins (see note)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour liquid into a blender along with yogurt, fresh fruit, frozen fruit, sweetener, and any optional add-ins. (In this order if using a traditional blender or in the reverse order if using a personal blender.)
  2. Blend ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Nuts, seeds, oils, spices, oats, and protein powder can all be added in.
  • Serving: One serving equals 8 ounces of smoothie.
  • Fresh Fruit: A banana is a great fresh fruit to use. An avocado can also be used along with a tablespoon or two of sweetener.
  • Yogurt: It's best to use a plain, unsweetened yogurt and then adjust the amount of sweetener to taste. If you're slightly lactose intolerant, goat's milk yogurt is a wonderful alternative that tastes very similar to cow's milk yogurt.
  • Optional Add-ins:  Nuts, seeds, oils, spices, oats, and protein powder can all be added in. Start by adding a little bit and then taste after each addition to make sure you still like the flavor!
  • Sweetener: You'd be surprised how sweet fruit can be!  Wait until the end to stir in any additional sweeteners like honey, pure maple syrup, or agave nectar.
