I've been making homemade yogurt again and finally got around to trying a yogurt smoothie. We've made blueberry, using frozen berries, which was really good. Yesterday, I made banana for my DH and I and that was good, too.
I don't really have a recipe, just add plain yogurt, fruit and honey into a blender and give it a whirl.
Would you please share your favorite yogurt smoothie recipes and tips.
Thanks a bunch!

Wonderful tips for yogurt smoothies! I can't wait to try freezing the yogurt. And, maple syrup is a favorite with my family - we'll have to try that. I've never thought about adding fruit juice - another yummy idea. Adding flax and/or wheat germ are excellent ways to make smoothies more healthful - I'll have to sneak that in.LOL
Layering yogurt, fruit and granola - a favorite here --- it's like having dessert for breakfast.
Thanks a bunch! I love all the kind help Farmgirls are so willing to share.

I use frozen non-fat vanilla yogurt, cranberry juice, banana and strawberries for one type of smoothie or instead of the banana & strawberries, buy frozen smoothie berry mix in the freezer case. It usually has pineapple, mango and other fruits. Works really well.

We're smoothie lovers here too. I do the same as you. I keep my bananas frozen (over ripe ones are perfect) I add some juice, ground flax seed and ground wheat germ for extra vitamins. We like ours frozen too. It's a wonderful breakfast in the spring & summer months.
I had a link for a sweet potato smoothie. Sounded interesting. I'll see if I can find it.

I just kindof made mine up, but I sure do love it!
For berry smoothies, I use cranberry juice, cran strawberry or something "red" or purple. For peach, melon or tropical fruits, I use orange juice.
So, a 1/4 cup of juice, a 1/2 cup of fruit and as much yogurt as you like for texture. If I'm using frozen fruit, I like to leave it a little "frozen" and it creates a nice texture.

I went to Panara Bread, and they had a yogurt breakfast item. It was sooo good. It looked easy to make. It looked like they put a couple of Tablespoons of yogurt in the bottom of a glass sundae thingy, then a few strawberries then more yogurt, more strawberries, and then topped it with granola. I am sure you could put any type of fruit. Best of all, no blender to clean up!!
Let me know if you try it.

You can also use maple syrup in your smoothies. I love using frozen berries, it makes it so good.
