How To Make A Smoothie With Frozen Fruit

What could be better than a delicious, refreshing smoothie on a hot day?

And if you make your smoothie with frozen fruit it makes for the perfect summer treat – refreshing and filling!

It’s handy to always have a bag of frozen fruit in the freezer so that you can make a frozen fruit smoothie at any time.

You could even freeze the smoothie in lollypop moulds and make your own ice lollies.

What You Need To Make A Frozen Fruit Smoothie

All you need is some frozen fruit, liquid, yoghurt (optional) and a blender.

In just minutes, you can have a cool, refreshing drink that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack.

The ingredients below are enough to serve 2, if you want to make just 1 serving, simply halve the ingredients. Likewise, if you want to make 4 servings, double it!

• 300ml liquid – this can be juice, milk or even just water
• 300g frozen fruit – any combination of frozen fruits will work
• 150ml yoghurt – optional
• Nuts, seeds – optional
• High-speed blender – I used a Ninja Blender

What Liquid To Add To A Frozen Smoothie

You can simply use plain water, or, for a bit of extra flavour you can use milk (try dairy, almond or soya milk), juice (try apple, pineapple or orange).

Start by adding 300ml (for 2 servings) and add more at the end if it is too thick and blend again.

What Frozen Fruit To Add To A Frozen Smoothie

You can use your own prepared frozen fruit or a supermarket bag of chopped frozen fruit. Mixed berries is a good choice, as is a tropical frozen fruit mix.

Optional Extras

For a thicker and more nutrient-dense smoothie add in some yoghurt and/or a handful of nuts and seeds.
