While I was working at the smoothie bar... I realized that yogurt smoothies were one of the favorites of the customers. You can make a yogurt smoothie any flavor with whatever fruit you wish.
Type of Yogurt to Use
You can save a lot of money by making your own yogurt. You can buy a whole gallon of milk and add a culture to it. Of course there are a few other steps in the process of making yogurt... like heating and cooling the milk. But it is a simple process. You can also make dairy-free yogurt with coconut cream, almond milk, etc as the base. You can use many different types of natural sweeteners (coconut palm sugar, honey, etc). Also, I usually need to add agar agar to thicken it up to a yogurt consistency.
But if you need to buy it, make sure to purchase plain & cultured yogurt. Many flavored yogurts are full of sugar, juice concentrates, and syrups. You can create healthy yogurt smoothies by using your own low calorie sweeteners, like stevia or Jordan Skinny Syrups.
When you buy yogurt with cultures, it is beneficial bacteria that make a home in your intestines. Several alternative health experts say that having a gut full of healthy bacteria will create a strong immune system and regular bowels.
Unfortunately, we kill off our good bacteria by taking antibiotics. We must replenish good bacteria throughout our diet or by taking probiotics. You can also eat other fermented foods like sauerkraut.
How to Buy Yogurt
To save money, you can buy the bigger tubs. If you are looking to make a lot of yogurt smoothies, never buy the 6-8 oz sizes. They really add up in cost. I try to at least get the 32oz size tubs of yogurt.
Make sure to look at the cost per oz. As companies have been creating smaller containers and charging the same if not more.
Or... like I said above... you can make your own and save a lot of money.
I hope that you enjoy your yogurt smoothies!
