Frequently asked questions
Who knew frozen grapes were the key to the tastiest of all smoothies? Consider us impressed. This one stood out to us in our list of 30+ smoothies as a simple, easy and healthy way to feel like you’re eating a treat. Here’s what you need to know to make it!
Grapes: We prefer the sweet flavor of red grapes in this smoothie! If you have green grapes, you can certainly use them too. They’re a little more tart, so you could add a little honey or maple syrup as necessary. Banana: No need for frozen banana: use a room temperature banana here. Greek yogurt: We love adding Greek yogurt to smoothies because it’s protein packed. You can also make this smoothie vegan by simply adding more non-dairy milk. Milk: You can use any type of milk you’d like here, or if you don’t stock it, substitute water.
How long does it take grapes to freeze? Allow about 2 hours for grapes to freeze completely. It’s also easy to toss them into a freezer safe container and freeze overnight.
PB&J: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut butter for a PB&J smoothie. Vanilla: Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Berries: Substitute 1 cup frozen blueberries, raspberries or strawberries for half of the grapes. Mango: Substitute 1 cup frozen mango for half of the grapes. Pineapple: Substitute 1 cup frozen pineapple for half of the grapes. Coconut: Add a handful of shredded coconut or coconut milk. Chocolate: Add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
Use non-dairy milk for the Greek yogurt and milk. To substitute for the Greek yogurt, use a non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk. Coconut milk also works, but it’s high fat: consider using just ½ cup coconut milk and ¼ cup almond or oat milk. Add back some protein! You’ll lose some protein from removing the yogurt. Here are some ideas for adding plant based protein to smoothies: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter Throw in up to 2 tablespoons chia seeds Add 1 scoop protein powder
