This Strawberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie is perfect for a protein focused snack with something quick and easy. It's high protein with only THREE ingredients and no added sugar.

Smoothies are generally made with too many calories, too much fat, and not enough protein. It is important to balance smoothies with protein to keep blood sugar balanced and hunger more stable. Not only does this ensure you stay satiated and full for hours after drinking it, it also promotes fat loss when in a caloric deficit.

Obviously, fruit has numerous health benefits and fiber but it's just as important to pay attention to how much protein you eat as it is important for hormone health and controlling hunger. I teach how to eat for hormonal weight loss in my weight loss program for midlife women.

How do we get higher protein in a smoothie? Greek yogurt! Dairy does have naturally occurring sugar but Greek yogurt has a bit less and it's higher protein. Also, let's not forget Greek yogurt makes smoothies incredibly thick and creamy!

This Strawberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie is everything your smoothie dreams ever dreamed of! Thick, creamy, sweet and delicious. A refreshing way to cool off and a great yogurt smoothie recipe for weight loss when in a calorie deficit.

Why You Will Love This Strawberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie

  • Great Flavors & Balanced Nutrition. This Strawberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie is 100% delicious and Master Your Cravings approved. Not only does it have addictive flavors (the most important part, right?!?), it's higher protein to keep blood sugar stable.
  • So Easy. All you need are three simple ingredients to make this easy yogurt smoothie.
  • Portable Breakfast or Snack. Whether you are enjoying this as an on-the-go breakfast or a pre-workout snack, it's satisfying and sure to keep you full.

Ingredients

Ingredients to make greek yogurt smoothies with strawberries on the table.
  • Strawberries: You can use fresh or frozen to make your smoothie. Using frozen is an easy way to avoid waste and to make sure you always have strawberries around to make a smoothie. Even better when using frozen berries you can likely skip the additional ice!
  • Greek yogurt: Make sure you use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt.
  • Stevia: We're adding a bit of stevia to sweeten our strawberry smoothie with yogurt a bit more. Depending on the sweetness of your berries and your taste preference you may adjust the amount or leave it out. Feel free to use another low-calorie or sugar-free sweetener you prefer.

Variations

  • Strawberry banana Greek yogurt smoothie: Add some slices of frozen or fresh bananas. Adding bananas may mean that you can skip the stevia as it will add some sweetness as well depending on the ripeness of the bananas.
  • Different berries: Use blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries instead. It's also great to use a mixture of berries.
  • More fiber: Add a tablespoon of hemp seeds, chia seeds, or ground flax meal.
  • Adjust the consistency: For a thinner consistency, you can add a bit of milk to thin it out.
  • Boost the protein: 11 grams of protein is not very much and I do not recommend this smoothie as a meal as it is too few calories and protein for an adult. To boost the protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder that has 20 to 30 grams per serving!

How to Make a Strawberry Smoothie

Here's all you need to know when it comes to how to make a healthy smoothie. It takes just minutes!

Step 1: Add to the blender. Add your berries, yogurt, and stevia to a high-speed blender.

Ingredients added to the blender to make the smoothie.

Step 2: Blend and serve. Pulse the blender to get things moving and then blend until the mixture is smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy your smoothie as an addition to your breakfast routine. It pairs great with hearty egg dishes such as this Crock Pot Egg Omelette.

For a light lunch, it goes great with some High Protein Egg Salad or my Low-Calorie Tuna Pasta Salad.

Sip on a smoothie as an afternoon snack or before heading to the gym. It's satisfying yet light enough to not weigh you down.

Expert Tips

  • Use frozen fruit. I personally prefer the frozen fruit in this strawberry smoothie. It gives the smoothie the perfect texture! Fresh strawberries yield a slightly thicker texture so if you go that route, I recommend you add a bit more ice to thin it out.
  • Experiment with different combinations. Swap it for blueberries, mixed berries, or cherries! One of the things I love about this healthy smoothie recipe is how versatile it is. You can easily mix it up with different fruits. Great way to enjoy different nutrients and switch up your routine!
  • Storing: Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately. However, if you can't finish it you can store the leftovers in the fridge for up to two days. Return it to the blender and add a bit more ice to blend it up.

Recipe FAQs

My blender isn't strong enough to blend a thick smoothie, what can I do?

I do find that a high-speed blender is best when making thick smoothies but if you don't have one that's ok. Pulse it at the start to get things moving. Once the ice starts to break down it will thin out. If it's still struggling you can add a bit of liquid such as water or milk to help move things along.

What can I use to boost the protein in my smoothie?

You can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder that has 20 to 30 grams of protein per serving. You can also add some hemp, chia, or flax seeds to give it a bit more protein.
