Frozen Fruit Smoothies
Frozen fruit smoothie recipes are your shortcut to a vibrant and refreshing pick-me-up, no matter the season. With just a blender, a handful of frozen berries or tropical fruit, and a splash of Silk’s plant-based beverage, you’ll have a delicious, frosty sip in minutes.
Tips Before Making Your Frozen Fruit Smoothies
Use a Variety of Frozen Fruits
Don’t limit yourself to one flavour! Grab a mix of banana, strawberry, blueberry, mango, pineapple, or raspberry for a dynamic taste in every sip. A medley of berries adds vibrant colour and natural sweetness, while tropical mango and pineapple bring a sunshine twist. Rotating your fruit combinations not only keeps things interesting, but also helps you make a smoothie that never gets boring.
Add a Liquid Base for Smooth Blending
To get that nice, drinkable texture, choose a liquid of choice such as soy beverage, unsweetened almond beverage, coconut beverage, or any non-dairy beverage you prefer. For extra richness, swap in coconut beverage or add a splash of maple syrup when you want a hint of sweetness without refined sugar. Just pour in enough liquid to cover the fruit, then blend until smooth, and you’ve got a quick snack ready in under five minutes.

Questions Related to the Fruit Smoothie Recipe
Can you Make Smoothies and Freeze them?
Absolutely. To have your smoothies ready to make in a flash, portion your fruit into freezer bags—bananas, berries, peaches, and even a handful of ice cubes. Seal each bag, then store in the freezer. When you’re set for an easy fruit smoothie, just dump the contents of one freezer bag plus liquid of choice into the blender. Add a teaspoon vanilla extract or a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if desired, blend and enjoy. This method preserves fresh fruit flavour and ensures the ideal smoothie consistency every time.What are the Best Fruits for Frozen Smoothies?
Choose fruits that hold their texture and sweetness after freezing: banana, strawberry, blueberry, mango, pineapple, and peach all perform beautifully. Fresh fruit like raspberries or grapes can work too, but you may need a splash of fruit juice or non-dairy milk to reach the right thickness. Mixing softer fruits (banana, peach) with firmer berries helps achieve a silky smoothie consistency without watering it down.How Can I Elevate My Smoothie Flavour?
For a flavour boost, add a splash of vanilla extract or a dollop of maple syrup or honey before blending. Spices like cinnamon or a small piece of ginger can add warmth. You can also sneak in extras, spinach for colour, flaxseed for texture, or a spoonful of nut butter for richness, or a splash of orange juice for freshness. Finish with a few ice cubes and blend until smooth for a makeover that keeps your taste buds intrigued! With this fruit smoothie recipe in your back pocket, you’ll never skip a quick sip.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer fruit and liquid : In your blender, add the frozen banana, strawberries, blueberries, mango, and pineapple. Pour in the Silk Soy Beverage right on top of the fruits.
- Add optional boosters : If you’d like extra fibre or omega-3, sprinkle in the flaxseed or chia seeds. For a touch of sweetness, drizzle the maple syrup on top.
- Blend until smooth : Secure the lid and blend on high speed, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. Continue until your smoothie reaches a silky-smooth consistency—no large fruit chunks should remain.
- Adjust thickness : If the mix is too thick, add a splash more soy beverage (or other liquid) and blend briefly. For a thicker “spoonable” version, pause while still slightly chunky.
- Serve immediately : Pour into glasses and garnish with a few fresh berries, a sprinkle of flaxseed, or a mint leaf if you like. Enjoy right away as part of a quick breakfast, or anytime pick-me-up!
