Can I make this smoothie recipe vegan?

This smoothie recipe includes Greek yogurt and (optional) honey, which are not vegan. To make a vegan version of this kiwi banana smoothie, you can easily swap in a plant-based yogurt , and use agave syrup instead of the honey.

How much does this smoothie recipe make? Can I double the recipe?

This smoothie recipe makes about 16 ounces (473 ml) , enough for one large smoothie. If you want to double or triple the recipe, I recommend working in batches so the blender has enough room to properly combine the ingredients.

How can I customize this smoothie?

Smoothies are so great because they are very flexible, you can feel free to adjust the amounts and ingredients to suit your own tastes. For example, add more or less honey to adjust the sweetness, or use flavored yogurt instead of plain for more sweetness and fruity flavor. You can also add in additional ingredients, such as a handful of baby spinach or blueberries, a spoonful of almond butter, or a scoop of protein powder. However, if you want to keep the thick texture of the smoothie, I would only add a small amount of additional, non-frozen ingredients that could add excess liquid to the smoothie, such as fresh fruit. Or, you could only add one kiwi, replacing the second kiwi with a similar amount of a different non-frozen fruit.

This kiwi banana smoothie is an easy and quick breakfast, with Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein. And, there is no added liquid so the smoothie is super thick - break out a spoon or fat straw for this one!

Instructions

Peel the kiwis and chop them into quarters. If necessary, break or cut the frozen banana into chunks.

Add the ice and blend again, just until smooth. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a sweeter smoothie, you can use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain. You can also substitute regular yogurt for the Greek yogurt. If using regular yogurt, the texture of the smoothie will be slightly less thick, but still delicious!
