Easy ingredients: With this milk-free smoothie recipe, you probably already have everything you need to whip it up.

Ingredients and Substitutions
- Frozen Strawberries: Fresh or frozen strawberries will work, but frozen ones will result in a thicker, more refreshing texture. Fresh strawberries will create a smoother but thinner smoothie.
- Figs: This smoothie is naturally sweetened with figs! This makes it ideal when trying to scale back on excess processed sugars.
- Dairy-free yogurt: The kind of yogurt you choose will affect the flavor of the smoothie. Opt for plain yogurt to keep sugars to a minimum, and know that both regular and dairy-free Greek yogurt will work like in these frozen yogurt protein bars.
- Collagen powder: The perfect addition to the strawberry smoothie if you want to make it more balanced and amp up the protein (learn more about the benefits of a high protein diet). Collagen is a natural protein source perfect for kids and adults alike.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Flavor Variations
Berry burst: Of course, this non-dairy strawberry smoothie can also be used with other fruits as the base. Mangos, blueberries, or pineapple are all delicious ideas.
Toppings: Sprinkle homemade high-protein granola or any other smoothie bowl toppings you love.
Expert Tips
To keep the smoothie pink, strawberries or raspberries work. If you're going to use frozen strawberries, you may need to add a splash of homemade hemp milk or water to help it out a bit.
Know that using a coconut or cashew-based yogurt will result in a thinner consistency.
Make it easier on your blender by adding the yogurt and dairy-free milk before any of the frozen fruit. It will be a smoothie result this way, too.
A high-quality collagen powder is important for the smoothie to remain smooth (learn more about what collagen powder is). I use Perfect Supplements collagen because they're so transparent about their products. Code mamabear10 saves you money if you try it.
Easy to mix, this collagen powder adds a protein punch to anything you pair it with. Made from pasture-raised (grass-fed) cows there are no pesticides, hormones, or filler agents. Just put collagen protein. Use code mamabear10 to save money on your next order.
Strawberry Fig Smoothie FAQs
Greek yogurt is the best option for smoothies because it blends into a creamy consistency. It's thicker than normal yogurt, which makes the smoothie seem more indulgent, as well as upping the protein intake a bit.
Yes, you can replace collagen powder with protein powder; however, it will change the texture of the strawberry yogurt smoothie, depending on the kind you choose. Whey protein blends easily, whereas vegan protein absorbs liquid, and you may need extra water.

I one of those people who can't tolerate chia but the rest of it sounds very yummy. I never thought of dried figs in a smoothie.

Ah really!? I love chia! I would just sub with flax then- you still get healthy fats and it won't change the consistency much 🙂
