Smoothies are one of my favorite breakfast or snack options. Any time you can just toss a bunch of ingredients together and make a nutritious, belly-filling treat, I’m in! For these dairy-free fruit smoothie recipes, I used So Delicious Vanilla Coconutmilk Yogurt and Ripple milk. Not Dairy-Free? These are just as good with your favorite cow’s milk and yogurt.

A few helpful tips for deliciously easy dairy-free fruit smoothies:
Tip 1: Meal prep your smoothies so you have a stash of smoothies ready to go! Set aside some time to make several smoothies at once. Freeze them flat in quart Ziploc bags. Then when you want to use them, simply defrost and add to your favorite smoothie cup! Check out Jessica’s Freezer Smoothies for ideas on storing pre-made smoothies in grab & go cups.
Tip 2: Freeze a few peeled ripe bananas to use for smoothies. Even better, store several packages of your favorite fruits and some spinach in the freezer.
