Instructions

Add the ingredients to the blender.
Blend, starting on low and working up to high to blend very smooth.
(If your blender came with a stick, use it to help get the mixture moving if needed. If the mixture is ever challenging to blend, add 2 tablespoons milk.)
Sweeten to taste as desired using the honey or maple syrup.
Serve or store for a future meal.

Notes

Store Yogurt Drinks for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Shake before serving. NOTE: I do not recommend storing the Blueberry Yogurt Drink as that flavor thickens up in a not-enjoyable way. The others stay a similar drinkable consistency.
Strawberry Yogurt Drink: Use 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries as the fruit.
Strawberry-Banana Yogurt Drink: Use 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries and 1/2 cup sliced ripe banana.
Mango-Carrot Yogurt Drink: Use 1 cup diced fresh or frozen mango as the fruit and 1/4 cup Carrot Puree (homemade or store-bought).
Banana-Spinach Yogurt Drink: Use 1 cup sliced ripe banana and 1/4 cup loosely packed baby spinach (it's less "green" tasting if you freeze the fresh leaves).
Blueberry-Pear Yogurt Drink: Use 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries and 1/2 cup sliced pear.
Sweet Potato-Mango Yogurt Drink: Use 1 cup diced fresh or frozen mango and 1/4 cup Sweet Potato Puree.
Banana-Cauliflower: Use 1 cup sliced very ripe banana and 1/4 cup raw fresh or frozen cauliflower.
Use whole milk Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Regular yogurt will work, though it will be a little less creamy.
Blend the ingredients, taste, then sweeten with honey (for kids over age 1) or maple syrup to taste. Sweetness can vary considerably in fruit.
Use fresh or frozen fruit. If you use frozen fruit and the mixture is a little difficult to blend, add 2 tablespoons milk.
Add 1 tablespoon hemp seeds for additional healthy fats and protein, if desired.
Dairy-free: Use nondairy yogurt or kefir. This also works with lactose-free options.
Serve in a reusable pouch, a Smoothie Cup, or a small open cup as you like.
