Subtle variations on the base recipe will affect the flavor of your smoothie. For example, you may want to start with less sweetener if you use vanilla or strawberry yogurt. You can always add more to taste at the end if your fruit isn’t as ripe as you’d like.
If you want a vegan smoothie, follow the recipe above, omitting the Greek yogurt. Add your favorite plant milk (e.g. oat, almond, or coconut milk) to get it to blend. You can also try my Strawberry Banana Smoothie. It’s vegan and uses only 2 ingredients outside of water and ice!
For optimal blending, start with your liquids at the bottom of the blender. If your smoothie is having issues blending, stop and scrape a few times, then try adding a little more liquid.
