Nutrition
If you follow our sister website, then you know Kim and I adore all sorts of smoothies.
Nothing beats a mango banana smoothie, a coffee smoothie, or a quick raspberry smoothie.
For today, we’re sharing our strawberry Greek yogurt smoothie. Why Greek yogurt you ask?
Should I put yogurt in my smoothie?
A lot of smoothie shops and restaurants use ice cream to create that signature flavor and texture.
Kim and I drink a lot of smoothies and the idea of eating that much ice cream on a regular basis would do a number on our health.
So, we started using yogurts and frozen fruit to re-create the same texture without all the added sugar and fat.
In closing, if the choice comes down to yogurt or ice cream, then yes, you should put yogurt in your smoothies.
Can you mix yogurt and milk into a smoothie?
Yes, in fact, that’s a much better alternative to ice cream. Which, is what a lot of smoothie shops use their smoothies.
John’s Tips
Tips
- You can use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones. It won’t change anything about the recipe. In fact, it will save you 2 steps.
- If you don’t like almond milk, then use dairy milk or coconut milk. However, be aware the calories will be different.
- Don’t have honey, then you can use agave nectar, stevia, or sugar as a last resort.
I like the recipe but needed a but more flavors mingling. Added some fresh cilantro and that was perfect for me. 😉
