Smoothies can be a convenient choice in the morning for a quick breakfast, or for recovery after a tough workout. But I’ve heard from quite a few people that they don’t make smoothies because they’re not a fan of yogurt, which many recipes include.
While I personally love some greek yogurt in my smoothies to boost the protein content and add some creaminess, I get that not everyone is a fan. So I’ve rounded up 15 of the best smoothie recipes without yogurt from fellow dietitians and food bloggers! From chocolate to berry to tropical fruits, you’ll find great variety of yogurt-free options, many of which are also vegan and gluten free.

1. Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie from The Nutritionist Reviews
(Gluten Free; Vegan with Milk Alternative)
It’s your childhood favorite turned into smoothie form. And with just a few ingredients, this one is super easy to make!
2. Hawaiian Pineapple Smoothie Bowl from Sinful Nutrition
(Vegan, Gluten Free)
This smoothie bowl is totally takin’ me to the tropics, especially since you can serve it right in the pineapple itself! Perfect for any kind of luau themed dinner or party.
3. Balsamic Roasted Berry Smoothie from Recipes from a Pantry
(Vegan, Gluten Free)
Balsamic in a smoothie?! That’s right! The berries in this are first roasted in the oven with a little balsamic, then cooled and mixed with other ingredients in this smoothie.
4. Vanilla Chai Latte Smoothie from Smart Nutrition

Once the weather starts warming up, I’m all about cold smoothies – so this is a perfect way to switch out your hot latte into smoothie form!

Dive into fall with this delicious smoothie that combines pumpkin puree with cold brew (and a few other tasty ingredients). A perfect way to get your caffeine fix in the morning!
7. Tropical Pineapple Carrot Smoothie from Peas and Crayons
(Vegan, Gluten Free)
If you’ve got a good blender, I love smoothies like this that add carrots to the mix. It’s a great way of making the smoothie more filling and adding extra nutrients.
8. Banana Split Smoothie from KISS in the Kitchen
(Gluten Free; Vegan with Milk Alternative)
How fun is this?! I’m sure those of you with kiddos will appreciate this whimsical layered smoothie.
9. Anti-Inflammatory Cherry Pineapple Smoothie from Hummusapien

This smoothie packs in a ton of nutrient-dense foods, including cherries, hemp, kale, ginger and turmeric! The addition of an optional protein powder of your choice makes this a great post-workout smoothie.
10. Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie Bowl from Liz’s Healthy Table
(Can be Vegan & Gluten Free depending on topping choices)
Banana and peanut butter are always a classic smoothie pairing, but I love this smoothie bowl even more thanks the abundance of yummy topping choices!
11. Healthy Chocolate Smoothie from A Virtual Vegan
(Vegan, Gluten Free)
Anything chocolate is a winner in my book! I love that this smoothie has a secret veggie ingredient – sweet potato!
12. Healthy Gingerbread Smoothie from Abra’s Kitchen
(Vegan, Gluten Free)
I’m haven’t gotten a chance to make this smoothie yet, but am super intrigued. There’s no fruit in this smoothie – instead, the base is primarily frozen cauliflower!

This smoothie recipe without yogurt is packed with veggies! In addition to the standard leafy greens that most green smoothies have, this one also includes basil and cucumber!
14. Southern Ambrosia Smoothie from The Seasoned Mom
(Vegan; Gluten Free depending on toppings used)
Ambrosia salad is a dessert staple often seen at picnics or potlucks, but the marshmallows in it aren’t the healthiest option. This recipe combines all the fruit flavors of ambrosia into a tasty, nutritious smoothie instead!
15. Chocolate Black Bean Brownie Smoothie from The Muffin Myth
(Vegan, Gluten Free)
I’ve made black bean brownies before, but this recipe takes it one step further, turning that idea into smoothie form!

These all look so yummy and refreshing. I finally had a smoothie craving yesterday after months (I tend to crave warmer foods in winter). And now I want another one. 😀
Haha, I go in cycles with things too! Smoothies and oatmeal are two that I will get into a routine with, then not have for like a month.
So many amazing smoothies! You had me at the without yogurt. We don’t usually use yogurt in our smoothies.
I actually like yogurt in mine for the extra protein, but I’ve heard from a lot of people that they either don’t want it because they’re dairy-free/vegan, or because it adds too much tanginess.
Those all look gorgeous! The Hawaiian looking one is my favorite
That one is so fun looking in the pineapple! It’d be perfect for a luau dinner or something 🙂
