Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen watermelon
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ½ cup whole milk vanilla yogurt, (I use regular yogurt, but you can also use Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup, add more or less to taste
Special Equipment
- Blender (make sure it is powerful enough to handle the frozen fruit)
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth (if the mixture is too thick, add a little extra almond milk).
- Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- The quality of your fruit will determine the quality of your smoothie. Make sure it tastes good!
- Unsweetened vanilla almond milk is my favorite, but you can use your favorite milk, non-dairy or dairy. If it's not vanilla flavored, add a splash of vanilla extract (½ to 1 teaspoon).
- I like using whole milk yogurt for the extra creaminess, but low-fat and non-fat versions will work too.
- Honey can be used in place of the maple syrup.
