Is Greek yogurt good in smoothies?

YES! Adding yogurt to smoothies makes it so thick and creamy, and also adds a nice boost of protein and healthy fats which will keep you full and satisfied.

What Greek yogurt should I use?

You can use any kind you like. Personally, I like to use plain, whole milk Greek yogurt because it adds a healthy fat and keeps me fuller longer. However, you can use non-fat or even a flavor if you prefer.

What does Greek yogurt taste like in a smoothie?

The flavor of the fruit over powers the Greek yogurt and you can hardly even taste it. It more just adds creaminess and protein to the smoothie.

Notes

Allergy Friendly Swaps:

Dairy Free: Substitute the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy alternative
Nut free: Instead of almond milk, use oat milk or cow's milk
Flaxseed allergy: Omit entirely or replace with chia or hemp seeds

Extra Tips:

Use frozen fruit: By using both frozen berries and bananas you'll blend up the thickest, creamiest smoothie
Freeze your own fruit: If your local grocery store has fruit on sale, buy it and freeze yourself to save money
Sweetener needed: You may want more or less sweetener depending on how tart the fruit is. You don't need it at all, I just like it sometimes
Fresh is best: Serve your Greek yogurt smoothie immediately for the best flavor
