Notes
You may use nonfat, lowfat, regular, or Greek vanilla yogurt. If using plain yogurt (instead of vanilla), you may need to slightly increase the honey and vanilla extract in your smoothie.
You may use whole milk, 2%, skim milk, almond milk, oat milk, or your favorite type of non-dairy milk.
Feel free to experiment with substituting different kinds of frozen fruit.
If the baked good you are mimicking is more cinnamon-y, use the greater amount of cinnamon in your smoothie. For example, when I make a Blueberry Muffin Smoothie, I add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. But when I make a Peach Cobbler Smoothie, I increase the amount of cinnamon to ½ teaspoon.
