How to Make a Fruit Smoothie

A smoothie is an easy to make drink that is a healthy alternative for desert, snack or breakfast.

Things You'll Need

-  blender

-  fresh or frozen fruit

-  yogurt

-  banana

-  orange juice or other juice

Step 1 Add 8 to 16 oz of fresh or frozen fruit into blender. I prefer to add 8 oz of frozen blueberries and 8 oz of frozen strawberries. Adding these first ensures that they well reach the blades of the blender and not get stuck up at the top. I also like to add a slice of fresh pineapple.

Step 2 Add 1 whole banana. Break into pieces.

Step 3 Add one 8 oz container of yogurt. I prefer plain yogurt as it is healthier and doesn't compete with the taste of the fresh or frozen fruit. But choose a flavor to suit your taste.

Step 4 Add 8 oz to 16 oz of orange juice. Other types of juices can work too. If you don't have a slice of pineapple to add, I would recommend a pineapple-orange blended juice.

Step 5 Blend until thick and creamy. Add more juice or frozen fruit to reach your desired consistency.
