Recipe Variations & Add-Ins
I intentionally kept this smoothie simple and settled with the version that only requires 3-ingredients.
However, I tested many other versions too, which perhaps you may like better?
Here are some other versions of this yogurt and orange juice smoothie that you may like to try:
- Protein Boost: The smoothie contains a good amount of protein as it is, but to boost it further, add a scoop of protein powder.
- Swap The Fruit: You can either swap the blueberries for another berry or use another fruit entirely, such as mango or pineapple.
- Boost The Fiber And Add Omega-3s: A tablespoon of chia seeds can go a long way to boost the nutritional profile of your smoothie.
- Green Power Boost: Sneak in some leafy greens like spinach or kale for an added nutrient kick.
- Creamy Texture with Nut Butter: Achieve a luscious texture and introduce healthy fats by blending in a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter.
- Zesty Citrus Twist: Squeeze in some lemon or lime juice to brighten the flavor profile and add a burst of citrusy freshness. This not only enhances the taste but also provides additional vitamin C.
