Ingredients You’ll Need
Getting these ingredients together is a breeze, and each one plays a starring role in making this smoothie taste so amazing. They’re simple but essential, coming together to create the perfect harmony of flavor, texture, and color.
- Frozen strawberries: The star fruit that provides natural sweetness and that beautiful vivid pink hue.
- Vegan strawberry yogurt: Builds the creamy texture while adding tang and extra strawberry flavor without any dairy.

How to Make Strawberry Smoothie with Yogurt Recipe
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Before you dive in, make sure you have everything prepped and ready to roll. Using frozen strawberries keeps things refreshingly chilled and thick, so no need to add ice later.
Step 2: Combine in Blender
Pop your frozen strawberries, vegan strawberry yogurt, and plant-based milk straight into the blender. This simple trio is the heart of the recipe. Adding them together ensures that every sip bursts with balanced flavors.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend everything until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You’ll want to stop and scrape the sides if needed to make sure no chunks remain—smooth texture is what makes this smoothie so irresistible.
Step 4: Taste and Sweeten
Give your creation a quick taste test. If you want it sweeter, now’s the time to add agave or maple syrup little by little until it’s just perfect for your taste buds.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh when it’s thick and creamy, with all its bright, vibrant flavors shining through.
How to Serve Strawberry Smoothie with Yogurt Recipe
Garnishes
A sprinkle of chia seeds, a few fresh strawberry slices on top, or a light dusting of shredded coconut can transform this smoothie from simple to stunning. These little touches add texture, color, and an inviting look that makes your drink feel extra special.
Side Dishes
Pair this smoothie with hearty granola, a slice of whole-grain toast with almond butter, or even a small bowl of mixed nuts. The creamy sweetness complements crunchy or nutty sides perfectly, turning your smoothie into a complete, satisfying snack or breakfast.
Creative Ways to Present
Try layering the strawberry smoothie with a swirl of vegan vanilla yogurt in a clear glass for a pretty striped effect. You could also serve it in a chilled mason jar with a brightly colored reusable straw to make the experience feel fun and fresh.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any smoothie leftover, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir or shake before drinking, as separation happens naturally.
Freezing
You can freeze your leftover smoothie in ice cube trays. These cubes are perfect to toss into your next smoothie blend or to cool down any summer drink without watering it down.
Reheating
This smoothie is best served cold and fresh, so reheating isn’t recommended. Instead, enjoy leftovers chilled or frozen for refreshing sips anytime.
