Basic Smoothie Recipe Using Frozen Fruit

I love smoothies. They’re fast, easy, healthy, and refreshing. This one has just three ingredients but you’d never know it based on how creamy, smooth, and satisfying it is.

Between the naturally sweet fruit and the strawberry yogurt, I didn’t need to add a sweetener to the smoothie. Love it when that happens!

The recipe as written will serve two, and you can freeze the second portion for later. Or get creative and make frozen yogurt popsicles with it. However you try it, you’re going to love it!

Ingredients for Frozen Fruit Smoothies

This is a basic frozen fruit smoothie with yogurt. I made it a no-frills recipe so you can add any extra ingredients you like. Or, keep it to the following three ingredients:

I got the ingredients at Vons. Look for the “new” tag at your local Von’s or Safeway stores to find new items like these at great values. 

Do I Have to Use Non-Dairy Ingredients?

Nope! You can use any yogurt and milk combination you’d like. I simply prefer my frozen fruit and yogurt smoothies to be dairy-free.

Do I Have to Make Smoothies with Frozen Fruit?

Technically no, but I prefer making frozen fruit smoothies for a couple reasons:

  1. By using frozen fruit, I didn’t need to add ice, which can water down smoothies. 
  2. Frozen fruit is cheaper than fresh and is readily available even when it’s not berry season.

How to Make a Frozen Fruit Smoothie 

Making smoothies with frozen fruit is a cinch! Here are the basic steps:

  1. Add the frozen fruit smoothie ingredients into a blender, but reserve half of the cashew milk. 
  2. Blend the smoothie ingredients until smooth, and pour in the remaining cashew milk slowly until desired consistency is reached.

Adjusting the Consistency of Your Smoothie

For a thicker frozen fruit smoothie, add less milk. For a thinner smoothie, add a little more milk. 

This Frozen Fruit Smoothie is packed with berries, strawberry yogurt, and cashew milk. Smoothie recipes with frozen fruit are the best because they don't need any ice to reach the perfect consistency! 

Recipe Variations

As I mentioned already, this I kept this a very basic smoothie recipe on purpose.

The combination of frozen fruit, yogurt, and milk gives you a great canvas for adding any mix-ins you’d like:

  • Chia or flax seeds
  • Nut or seed butter
  • Leafy greens (like spinach or kale)
  • Cacao nibs or cocoa powder
  • Protein powder
  • Different frozen fruit(s)
Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie - Just 3 ingredients and no added sugar in this sweet and creamy smoothie! Love it when healthy tastes so good!!

Tips for the Best Fruit Smoothie

  • The frozen fruit in this easy smoothie recipe can be substituted with fresh fruit, if desired. You’ll need to add a handful of ice, though. If berries are in season, you can buy them fresh and freeze them the night before! 
  • Also, feel free to switch out the other ingredients as you see fit. Play around with the yogurt flavor you use, or use plain yogurt and sweeten with a little honey or maple syrup instead.
  • And any non-dairy milk from Silk would pair nicely with the flavors of this smoothie, so don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to cashew milk. 

Storing Leftovers

Any leftover frozen mixed fruit smoothie mixture can be frozen for up to one month. Just cover the top of the glass with plastic wrap or store in a sealed container.

When you’re ready to enjoy the prepped smoothie, let it rest on the counter for 30 minutes before drinking.

  1. Averie – What a great way to start the day! I love almond milk, but I’ll have to give Cashew milk a try. My boyfriend and I have been trying to staying healthy amidst all of the chocolate and desserts in February. This will be something we can share together. Thank you.

  2. almond yes I have tried that and even coconut milk but never cashew milk.I am very interested in how it tastes. Going to have to try this

  3. I got a nutribullet or Xmas. I was looking for an ultra simple low calorie
    yogurt smoothie. This is IT. I just hadn’t gotten around to do some in-depth looking. Now I don’t have to. Yay!

  4. Beautiful! I have such an obsession with cashews, but I have yet to try cashew milk. This recipe gives me an excuse to try it!

  5. I ‘m always drawn to brightly colored smoothies–this one is quite attractive! Thank goodness the cashew milk has gone pretty mainstream around here and is easy to find now…it’s my new favorite. I should try the silk yogurt some time–I got hooked on Greek yogurt many years ago and haven’t tried anything new in that department.

    1. It’s not as easy to find here as I wish (not sure why, in the land of ALL things healthy, new, ‘cutting-edge’, etc) but I do have a couple reliable places to get it at now, so that’s good :)

  6. I recently discovered cashew milk and just love it! I love the taste better than almond milk. I’ll bet this is fantastic.

  7. I love smoothies, too! And I just tried cashew milk this weekend and am addicted to it. This looks like the perfect drink, Averie!

  8. How easy and PRETTY is this?! I’ve been meaning to try that cashew milk as a switch from almond, and this beauty might just push me right on over the edge! Hello breakfast! Pinning :)

  9. You make the best looking smoothies…It’s 20 below zero today so I may need to wait a couple of days before trying this icy drink….

    1. Okay wow, sorry, it’s been in the 80s (unseasonably warm) in San Diego so smoothies are easy to think about here. Stay warm!

  10. Yes, please! Smoothies are a favorite in my house and this one needs to be in the mix of flavors! Yummy!
