I am a smoothie person, and since I love Greek yogurt, I wanted to make Greek yogurt smoothie.
This morning smoothie uses healthy ingredients, so easy to prepare and doesn't take much time to make.
Greek Yogurt Smoothie
The texture is thick and creamy, and the flavor is oh-so fruity and delicious. I absolutely love it because:

- It is made with healthy ingredients and is suitable for children and adults!
- This creamy smoothie is perfect for breakfast, lunch or afternoon snack.
What's in This Recipe?
Here is an overview of all the ingredients I used. All the measurements are in the recipe card.
- Greek Yogurt. I use plain Greek yogurt because it is a healthy ingredient to use in making a breakfast smoothie.
- Milk. You may use any type of milk for this recipe, but the best choice would be that of whole milk since it has a creamy flavor perfect for the smoothie. However, you may also use almond milk if you like a nutty flavor to your smoothie
- Lemon Juice. I like to add fresh lemon juice for flavor.
- Frozen Strawberries.
- Frozen Mango.
- Honey. I add a little bit of honey to my smoothie mixture for a bit of sweetener.
- Banana. In this recipe, I used green bananas. However you may use ripe or frozen bananas.

Top Tips
- Be mindful of the number of ice cubes you are adding to make the smoothie runny instead of having a thick consistency.
- Blend the fruits thoroughly so there wouldn't be any solid particles when you serve the smoothie.
- If you like a very thick smoothie, you may want to add some chia seeds to your smoothie or add more frozen fruit.
- Orange juice or apple juice will be excellent additions to this smoothie.
- Coconut milk or cashew milk is a good dairy milk substitute.
- To make high protein smoothie, add half a scoop of protein powder to the ingredients in the food processor. You can also add a tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter to add healthy fat.
Recipe FAQs
Most smoothie recipes use greek yogurt because it is healthier. However, if you are not trying to follow any nutritional standards, you may add ice cream for another flavor. Also, you don't have to use plain yogurt, you may use vanilla yogurt or any other flavoured yogurt you like.
Some would prefer to use fresh fruits instead of frozen ones, that is totally fine. However, frozen fruits help you thicken the consistency of your Greek Yogurt Smoothie.
It has a tangy flavor and a rich and super creamy texture.
Yes, you can. In this case, you should use fresh and ripe fruits ( not frozen). You can use the electric hand mixer or a fork to mash the fruit together with the milk.
