How to Make the Perfect Fruit Smoothie

One thing I learned over these few months is how much I love a good fruit smoothie. I’ve shown a lot of my smoothies on Instagram stories this year and kept getting asked how I make them so I finally decided it was time for a blog post.

Let’s get real – life gets hectic and sometimes we can forget to eat our fruit. I know I’m guilty of this! A fruit smoothie is an incredibly easy and quick way to get your fruit intake and can help curb your sweet tooth. Plus, it’s also a great way to use up fruit that is about to go bad.

Making a fruit smoothie is actually easier than you might think and only requires a few main ingredients. You can use whatever fruit, milk, or yogurt you have on hand and customize your smoothies so it’s something different each time. My favorites are a classic strawberry and banana or full of berries.

HOW TO MAKE A FRUIT SMOOTHIE

1. Add the frozen or fresh fruit of your choice – I prefer to do a mix of both for texture
2. Add a banana and yogurt to thicken
3.  Add the milk of your choice – I use lactose-free or almond milk usually
4. Add orange juice for extra flavoring (optional)

Now just mix all of the ingredients together in a blender until smooth (I use this Oster blender – currently on sale). You can even make smoothies ahead of time and freeze to use throughout the week.

How I made the smoothie in this post:

– 1/2 c almond milk

– 2 tbsp. Trader Joe’s almond milk vanilla bean yogurt

– 1 banana

– 1/2 c fresh blueberries

– a handful of frozen peaches
