Steps to Prepare a Healthy Yogurt Smoothie

Since this isn’t a green smoothie, the blending process is a bit simpler:

Just add all the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. For a chilled drink, use frozen peach slices. Pour it into a fun glass, and enjoy!

If your smoothie turns out too thick, add 1/4 cup of plant milk—cashew or oat work wonderfully in this recipe. If you’d like to sweeten it, add the sweetener before blending. While my recipe calls for organic dairy yogurt, you can easily substitute a plant-based option.

How to Make Your Smoothie Extra Creamy

I love my smoothies creamy rather than thin—watery ones just don’t do it for me. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for ways to amp up the creaminess.

My secret? It’s simple! Just include one of these ingredients in your blender: mango, yogurt, avocado, banana, cauliflower, hemp hearts, or chia seeds. Swapping out water for almond, cashew, or oat milk also works wonders.

This healthy yogurt smoothie is already thick and creamy, but if your blender needs a little extra help, feel free to add 1/4 cup of plant milk.

The Ideal Yogurt for Smoothie Making

When shopping for yogurt, you guessed it—read the label! Ensure your yogurt doesn’t have added sugar or any strange ingredients beyond live cultures. Whether you choose Greek or regular yogurt is up to you! I personally enjoy using Costco brand Greek yogurt, Stonyfield Organic whole milk plain yogurt, or Forager’s Cashewmilk yogurt.

If you prefer non-dairy options, cashew milk or coconut milk yogurt works wonderfully. You could even try making your own—it’s easier than you think! While my homemade version doesn’t include probiotics, you can easily add them in if you like.

Other Creamy Yogurt Smoothies You’ll Love

After discovering and loving cashew yogurt, I began experimenting with smoothie recipes. Grab your favorite yogurt brand and start blending:

Mango Smoothie
Cashew Banana Smoothie
Tropical Pineapple Smoothie
Healthy Blueberry Smoothie

If you enjoy yogurt for its creaminess, try adding cashews, bananas, mango, cauliflower, or avocado to your smoothies for an extra-smooth texture.

Protein Options for Smoothies

The main goal of this yogurt smoothie is to pack in protein. Yogurt is an excellent protein source, but if it’s not your preference, there are plenty of other plant-based options to boost your smoothie:
