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.
