Plum Smoothie

This plum smoothie is a delicious way to start off your day! Packed with fruit and Greek yogurt, this plum smoothie is the perfect combination of sweet and tart.

If you’ve got an abundance of plums, you need to make this delicious plum smoothie! Plums are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, so I like starting my day off with this smoothie. Plus, it helps me get a jump start on my daily serving of fruit!

 

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• A smoothie is an easy way to get your daily servings of fruits in! I definitely have trouble eating the recommended amount of fruit daily, so being able to sip on a smoothie in the morning is really helpful.
• It’s quite filling, thanks to the ingredients! You can make it even more filling by blending some oats into the smoothie.
• I love how refreshing this smoothie is. Plums are so delightful and gives the smoothie a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• plums — I love the sweet and tart flavors of plums and they’re pretty nutritious! You can use red or black plums. Red plums are more sweet-sour whereas black plums are sweeter as is. You can peel them or not. You get a little extra texture if you don’t peel the plums.
• strawberries — or other berries of your choice. I use frozen strawberries are convenient and less expensive.
• banana — you can use half to a full banana. The more ripe the banana is, the sweeter the banana is.
• orange juice — I love the sweetness and boost of vitamin C that orange juice adds. I highly recommend using good quality orange juice without extra added sugar.
• milk — you can use your milk of choice, from cow’s milk to almond milk to oat milk.
• Greek yogurt — full-fat Greek yogurt will lead to a creamier smoothie than non-fat yogurt. Greek yogurt is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, so I love adding some to my smoothies!
• ice — just a bit of ice to make the smoothie nice and cold. I love a refreshing, cool smoothie. It also makes the smoothie thicker.

How to Make Plum Smoothies

• Add all the pitted and peeled plums, frozen strawberries, and banana to a blender.

• Add the orange juice and milk to the blender.

• Add the ice and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
• Feel free to adjust the ingredients until the desired taste/consistency is reached.

Recipe Tips and Notes

• I use a Vitamix as it really cuts through the frozen fruit and ice to make a creamy smoothie.
• Add more milk or a splash of water for a thinner smoothie.
• Add a spoonful of almond or nut butter for an additional bit of healthy fats and protein.
• You can add toppings, such as hemp seeds, fresh fruit, granola, or more, to make the smoothie even more filling and hearty.
• If you don’t have frozen strawberries on hand, you can freeze berries of your choice or the banana on a lined sheet pan in a single layer. The frozen fruit helps make the smoothie thicker and creamier.
• You can add a tablespoon or two of chia seeds to the blender for some extra healthy goodness.
