Ingredients

Here are the ingredients for the basic version.

• Plain Greek yogurt - The key ingredient! You can use non-dairy Greek-style yogurt, if needed. You can also use flavored yogurt, but be aware of the high added sugar content. If you have any frozen yogurt, this will be a great way to use it up.
• Milk - can use either dairy or non-dairy milk, like almond milk or coconut milk.
• Banana - be sure to use frozen banana. Here's how to freeze ripe bananas so you always have some on hand.
• Hemp seeds - his is optional but will be an easy way to boost nutrition (a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber) and add calories to your child's drink, if needed. You can also use chia seeds or flax seeds.

How to Make ANY Greek Yogurt Smoothie

Smoothies are such a great way to get your toddler involved in the kitchen! They’re  so easy to whip up and your child will have so much fun pouring and dumping all the ingredients.

1. Add the milk first followed by yogurt, hemp seeds, and the rest of the ingredients.
2. Blend until smooth! Enjoy!

Variations and Add-ins

Here I've shared the basic formula for making any Greek yogurt smoothie. And if you’d like to invite more fun and variety, here are some suggestions!

Along with creamy yogurt, milk, banana, and hemp seeds, add:

• Spinach yogurt smoothie: a handful of baby spinach
• Strawberry Greek yogurt smoothie: ½ cup frozen strawberries (or more if you desire a much bright-colored smoothie). You will need to add more milk (up to 1 cup). Or you can add strawberry yogurt
• Chocolate yogurt smoothie: 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• Peanut butter banana smoothie: 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Or use almond butter or sun butter if there is an allergy.
• Vanilla yogurt smoothie: use vanilla yogurt + a splash of vanilla extract if you want the flavor to be even more pronounced
• Peach banana smoothie

Tips for Success

• While you can use fresh banana, I highly recommend using frozen banana for a thicker and creamier smoothie. It will also make your drink nice and cold!
• If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more milk until desired consistency is reached.

Equipment

Using a powerful blender makes ALL the difference when making smoothies. You will get a perfectly silky smooth drink every.single.time!

I've had my Vitamix for 7+ years and it's worth every penny! I use it to make all my blender muffins, dips/sauces, smoothies, veggie nuggets, pancakes...it's hands down my number one workhorse.

And if you’re looking for the perfect straw drinking cup for your toddler to slurp their cold smoothies in, be sure to check out this cup that comes with a silicone cover for grip and to prevent breakage.

It can also double as a storage jar for overnight oats, chia puddings, etc.
