A refreshing fruit smoothie has become a favorite in our home! Our kids called them “yummy drinks” and they make them AT LEAST once a week.
Today’s Fruit Smoothie is one of our go-to’s. What makes it so good is the balance, sweet fruit, tangy yogurt, and a thick, icy texture that feels like a treat. Blended with banana, berries, kiwi, Greek yogurt, and pineapple juice, it is creamy, naturally sweet, and is perfect for busy mornings, after-school snacks, or a quick pick-me-up any time of day.
This fruit smoothie has a little bit of everything and is definitely a “keeper concoction.” It’s almost like a combination of our Tropical Smoothie and our Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie in one!
Why we think you’ll love it:
- Ready in minutes. Just mix and enjoy! This smoothie is a quick breakfast or snack and can also be frozen to enjoy later.
- A healthy alternative. This “treat” will satisfy that sweet tooth, but is packed with healthy benefits! It is naturally sweet from fresh fruit.
- Change it up. This combination is perfection (in our opinion), but you could easily add or remove any of the fruits to your liking.
Fruit Smoothie Ingredients
- Kiwi (1, peeled and sliced): Adds bright tangy flavor and vibrant color.
- Banana (1, peeled and sliced): Adds natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Strawberries (1 cup, hulled): Brings fresh berry flavor.
- Blueberries (½ cup): Adds sweetness and antioxidants.
- Greek yogurt (1 cup, plain or vanilla): Adds protein and makes the smoothie thick and creamy. Or use strawberry or blueberry yogurt. Replace the yogurt with milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or unsweetened almond milk.
- Ice cubes (1 cup, plus more as needed): Creates a chilled, frosty texture.
- Pineapple juice (½ cup): Adds tropical sweetness and helps everything blend smoothly.
How to Make a Fruit Smoothie
PREP. Add 1 sliced kiwi, 1 sliced banana, 1 cup hulled strawberries, ½ cup blueberries, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 cup ice cubes, and ½ cup pineapple juice in a blender.
BLEND. Blend until it’s the consistency you desire! This is the best fruit shake smoothie!
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Use frozen fruit or add extra ice for an even thicker smoothie.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness with a drizzle of honey if desired.
- Blend the liquid and yogurt first for smoother results.
- Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. We also like to freeze the smoothie mixture in a popsicle mold for a homemade treat!
- For a little extra something, add vanilla or strawberry protein powder, chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, baby spinach, kale, oats, avocado, almond butter, or other nut butter.

Recipe FAQ
Cut and prepare fruit as directed, then place in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to use, add the frozen fruit to a blender along with yogurt and pineapple juice. (Since the berries are frozen you do not need added ice.) Add extra yogurt or juice to get the desired creamy texture.
Add a bit of lemon juice or Sure Fresh to prevent browning. Find a jar or a container that is the best fit with little to no extra space. Store in the fridge for 12 hours or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw if needed and reblend.
You can also pour the leftover smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze to enjoy as a frozen treat.
