Frequently Asked Questions
You can get as creative as you want with a smoothie. Fruit, green leafy vegetables, water, any other liquid (almond milk, coconut milk, greek yogurt, milk) and a sweetener are what you normally need for a smoothie. These are elements which you can use to make your own favorite combination. In addition to this, you can add oats; super foods like chia seeds, matcha, spirulina; and tons of other things. Here’s a great resource to give you green smoothie 101 if thats what you prefer.
Frozen fruit in a smoothie gives smoothies a creamy, frosty, thick texture that can’t be achieves if you use fresh fruit (because they tend to become more liquidy). Psychologically, the thick texture of the smoothie also helps me feel full faster because it gives the illusion of more density and volume. Another advantage is that you can take advantage of using fruits that are not seasonal and still enjoy them for the rest of the year.
Curd is a lot thinner and not as creamy as Greek yogurt, which might not give you the desired thick and creamy smoothie you find at cafes. Plus most cafes use ice cream to achieve that creaminess, but it isn’t exactly healthy. So I have replaced that with Greek Yogurt and frozen strawberries to achieve similar results.
Top Tips To Make The Best Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
- Try to use frozen fruits for that beautiful thick smoothie consistency. The blender and frozen fruit work together like magic to give you the most creamy, ice cream-like consistency that’s really hard to achieve otherwise.
- You can make this smoothie vegan by choosing a non-diary Greek yogurt.
- You can customise this recipe with other fruits as well. Some fruits that will work really well are bananas, blueberries, mangoes, and pineapple.
This frozen strawberry greek yogurt smoothie is really good to start your day with. Before you go away, I do want to add that I still love eating fresh fruit and nothing can replace the fiber in fresh fruit. But when I want breakfast in 10 minutes, this frozen strawberry greek yogurt smoothie really does the job!
