Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt: This is the star of our smoothie providing the creaminess and protein.
  • 1 banana or 1 cup of mixed berries: Fresh or frozen will work well.
  • ½ cup liquid: Options include almond milk coconut water, or even regular milk.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup: For those who like their smoothies a little sweeter.
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds optional: These add healthy fats and fiber.
  • A handful of spinach or kale optional: For those wanting to sneak in some greens.

Equipment

  • Cup, Lid

Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Make sure you have everything in front of you. It helps speed up the process. You will want to use fresh or frozen fruit, depending on what you have on hand.
Step 2: Choose Your Liquid
  1. Pour ½ cup of your chosen liquid (almond milk, coconut water, or regular milk) into the blender first. Starting with the liquid will help with blending and ensure everything gets mixed smoothly.
Step 3: Add Greek Yogurt
  1. Next, scoop out 1 cup of Greek yogurt and add it to the blender. This will give your smoothie its creamy texture.
Step 4: Incorporate the Fruits
  1. Add your banana or mixed berries to the blender. If using frozen fruits, there's no need to thaw them; they can provide a nice, frosty texture.
Step 5: Sweeten the Deal
  1. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in the honey or maple syrup. Start with a tablespoon and adjust according to your taste.
Step 6: Optional Ingredients
  1. If you’re adding chia or flax seeds, toss them in now along with any greens you want. Spinach blends in nicely and adds nutrients without a strong flavor.
Step 7: Blend Until Smooth
  1. Secure the lid on your blender and blend everything until smooth. This usually takes around 30 seconds to a minute. Stop and scrape the sides if needed.
Step 8: Taste and Adjust
  1. Before pouring it out, give your smoothie a quick taste. If it needs more sweetness, add a bit more honey. If it’s too thick, pour in a little more liquid and blend again.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Pour your smoothie into a glass. Add any toppings if you wish, like fresh berries or a sprinkle of granola. Enjoy it immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Here are some handy tips for creating the perfect Greek yogurt smoothie:
Use Frozen Fruits: They make your smoothie extra chilled and refreshing without needing ice, which can dilute the flavor.
 Mix Up Your Yogurt: Try different brands of Greek yogurt for varied textures and flavors—some are thicker than others.
 Experiment with Flavorings: Add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
 Make It a Meal: If you want a more substantial meal replacement, throw in oats or protein powder.
 Thinner Consistency: If you prefer a thinner smoothie, just add more liquid until you reach your desired consistency.
