Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie

Mornings around my house are sometimes rushed. So for a quick breakfast or breakfast on the go, I combine some of my kid’s favorite fruit to make smoothies like this strawberry smoothie.

I highly recommend it for busy families or busy people in general. I’ve included a few strawberry smoothie variations at the bottom of the post for inspiration! So find the flavor you enjoy and get the most important meal of the day in.

Recipe Substitutions

• This recipe doubles, triples, and even quadruples very well. This is good because everyone’s going to want one!
• If you’re lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with almond, soy, oat, coconut, or other plant-based milk.
• Instead of using regular yogurt, you can use Greek yogurt, coconut milk yogurt, or any other yogurt alternatives. 
• To reduce the sugar content, replace the sweetened yogurt with unsweetened yogurt or Greek yogurt and add a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup to taste.
• Feel free to experiment with different fruits like blueberries, raspberries, mangoes, peaches, or bananas to create unique variations, or use the ones below!

Storage & Serving Tips

SERVE: Like any smoothie, a strawberry smoothie is best served immediately.

STORE: The leftover smoothie will be kept in the refrigerator for 12 hours. You may need to stir it before drinking because it may have separated.

FREEZE: Strawberry smoothies freeze very well. In fact, for a fun frozen breakfast treat, I like to pour the smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze it overnight. But, of course, my kids flip out when I tell them they can have a popsicle for breakfast!
