Tips & Simple Variations
- Make it dairy-free: Swap the vanilla yogurt with a non-dairy alternative like almond or coconut yogurt.
- Add a protein punch: A scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder works well if you’re having this as a meal replacement.
- Frozen fruit option: If fresh cherries or strawberries aren’t available, frozen ones work great and help make the smoothie extra cold and thick.
- Too thick? Just add a splash of cold water or a few extra chunks of watermelon to loosen it up.
- Extra sweetness: This smoothie is naturally sweet, but if you like it sweeter, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup does the trick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
This smoothie is best enjoyed right after blending, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir or shake before drinking.
Do I need to use fresh or frozen fruit?
Both work! Frozen fruit will give you a thicker, colder smoothie, while fresh fruit is ideal if you want something juicier and lighter.
Is this smoothie okay for kids?
Absolutely! It’s a great way to get fruit into their day, and you can even turn it into smoothie popsicles by freezing it in molds.
What kind of yogurt works best?
Vanilla yogurt adds a creamy texture and natural sweetness. Greek yogurt can be used for extra protein and thickness.
Can I add greens to this smoothie?
Sure! A handful of spinach blends in well without changing the flavor much, and it’s an easy way to include some greens.
