Ingredients

1 cup apple juice
1 cup frozen strawberries
½ frozen banana
1 cup non-fat vanilla frozen yogurt

Optional

½ cup ice cubes for a thicker, frostier smoothie
Vanilla Greek yogurt for extra protein

Directions

Step 1: Start with the Liquid

Pour the apple juice into your blender first. Adding the liquid before the frozen ingredients helps everything blend together more smoothly.

Step 2: Add the Fruit

Place the frozen strawberries and frozen banana into the blender.

The frozen fruit creates that thick, creamy texture that’s just like the smoothie shop version.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Ingredient

Spoon in the vanilla frozen yogurt.

If you’d like to boost the protein, swap the frozen yogurt for vanilla Greek yogurt.

For an extra thick smoothie, add the optional ice cubes.

Step 4: Blend

Blend on low for a few seconds to break up the frozen fruit.

Increase the speed to high and continue blending until the smoothie is silky smooth, creamy, and free of any fruit chunks.

Step 5: Serve

Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass.

Serve immediately while it’s cold and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Smoothie

Use frozen fruit. Frozen strawberries create the thick texture that makes this smoothie taste like the original.

Freeze ripe bananas. They’re naturally sweeter and blend beautifully.

Adjust the consistency. Add a little extra apple juice if the smoothie is too thick or toss in a handful of ice if you’d like it thicker.

Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and creamiest texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh strawberries?

Yes! If using fresh strawberries, simply add a little extra ice to achieve the same thick consistency.

Can I use regular yogurt?

Absolutely. Vanilla Greek yogurt makes a delicious substitute and adds extra protein.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Smoothies are always best enjoyed immediately after blending, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking.

Can I make this sweeter?

If your strawberries aren’t very sweet, you can add a drizzle of honey or a splash of simple syrup.
