Why you Will Love this Recipe + Popsicle Option

When you are choosing a smoothie recipe, do you ever feel like a lot of the recipes out there tend to have too many special or over the top ingredients? This recipe will satisfy your desire for a simple smoothie that is both delicious and nutritious.

If you need another reason to try this recipe out, it doubles as a recipe for refreshing popsicles. Just pour the smoothie into a popsicle molds and freeze. While it feels a lot like a dessert, it still has all of the healthy attributes of a smoothie. I bought popsicle molds like these. You run hot water over the bottoms when you are ready to pop them out.

Can we talk about blenders for a moment? I got my first Vitamix this past Christmas season, and I really do appreciate it after having several cheap blenders. I was so frustrated with the blenders that only mix the ingredients on top, or don’t completely blend all of the ingredients. I’d almost always end up with chunks of food in my smoothies, which is the opposite of smooth. I’ve even burnt out a motor or two using cheap blenders.

Now I use a Vitamix blender like this one. It purees really well and doesn’t get “tired.” I know these are costly, so I waited to get mine just after Christmas from Costco, when it was on sale. You can also buy a refurbished blender like this one or wait until pre-holiday sales like Black Friday or Cyber Monday to get a better deal.

Ingredients

This recipe only requires Greek yogurt, milk, frozen fruit and honey.

You most likely have all of these ingredients in your home already. If not, it is very versatile. If you only have sweetened yogurt in your fridge, you can always skip adding the honey. You can opt to use your favorite milk in this recipe if you do not use cow’s milk. You are also welcome to use your favorite frozen fruit. I used tropical frozen fruit and extra strawberries.

The type of fruit you use will also affect the color of the smoothie. Add more strawberries for a deeper pink color, or use blueberries for purple color. Cherries will add red and using greens will of course add green color to your smoothie.
