Greek Yogurt Smoothie (with 6 Flavors)

Here’s how to create a protein-packed Greek yogurt smoothie that’s creamy, delicious, and perfect for any time of day! Easy to customize, it’s a satisfying option the whole family will love.

Why add Greek yogurt to smoothies?

By simply adding one extra ingredient, Greek yogurt, you can enjoy a smoothie that is:

• Great for your digestive system as it’s a great source of probiotics.
• Creamier and thicker
• Protein-packed (21g per serving), which will keep you fuller for longer
• So delicious!

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients for the basic smoothie base.

• 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. Here are the best milk for toddlers.
• Banana – be sure to use frozen banana. Here’s how to freeze ripe bananas so you always have some on hand.
• Hemp seeds – this 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 Greek Yogurt Smoothie

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

And here’s how to make ANY green smoothie!

Variations

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 of frozen strawberries (or more for a vibrant pink color). Adjust the milk as needed, adding up to 1 cup for a thinner consistency. For an extra strawberry boost, you can also use strawberry yogurt.
• Chocolate yogurt smoothie: 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• Peanut butter banana smoothie: 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter for a rich, nutty flavor. If there’s a nut allergy, swap it with almond butter, this homemade sunflower seed butter, or any nut-free alternative.
• Vanilla yogurt smoothie: use vanilla yogurt + a splash of vanilla extract if you want the flavor to be even more pronounced.
• Oatmeal Smoothie: ¼ to ½ cup of rolled oats for extra fiber and a boost of whole grains. It will make the smoothie heartier and even more satisfying. For a smoother texture, blend the oats with the milk first before adding the other ingredients.
