Easy 2-Minute 2-Ingredient Frozen Fruit Smoothie

This 2-minute, 2-ingredient frozen fruit smoothie is perfectly ice-cold and thick. It can be made with any milk or frozen fruit.

For the last five days (I think they call that a week), I’ve been making a frozen fruit smoothie each morning—to drink, not to look at, just in case you were wondering. 😂

The best part is that it’s a very easy smoothie—a 2-minute fruit smoothie. Mama doesn’t have time for a 100-step smoothie, but She Does have time to create a simple fruit smoothie that makes her feel energized, healthy, and good for me.

Why is frozen fruit better than fresh fruit for a smoothie?

There are three reasons why I prefer frozen over fresh fruit!

It creates an ice-cold smoothie. Unlike traditional ice and room-temperature fruit, frozen fruit and cold milk keep the smoothie cold throughout the process.

No ice cubes are needed. The two ingredients are frozen (fruit) and refrigerated (milk)!

It’s easier to make. Since the frozen fruit serves two essential purposes—flavor and temperature—there are fewer steps than in a standard smoothie recipe.

Why a good blender makes a better smoothie.

But here’s the thing: You must have a good blender to make a smoothie. Otherwise, you’ll get frustrated with frozen fruit stuck in the blades, and the process will surely take more than two minutes.

So, do yourself a smoothie favor by purchasing a new blender if you don’t currently have one capable. I have a Ninja Professional Countertop Blender with an 1100-watt Base, a 72-oz Total Crushing Pitcher, and 16-oz Cups. It’s my favorite blender of blenders.

This Ninja efficiently handles ANY recipe, so smoothie-making is a total breeze. The 16oz cups included have fill lines that are very helpful when measuring fruit and liquid for each smoothie. The easy clean-up doesn’t hurt at all, either. 😊

Ninja also has a smoothie-only blender, which could also be a great option!

How to Make a Quick Smoothie

Okay, now that we’ve had “the talk” (about blenders), let’s move on to the smoothie recipe.

I used a frozen “mixed fruit” assortment of sliced peaches, seedless red grapes, pineapple chunks, and strawberries for this smoothie. However, you can use any frozen fruit combo (mixed berries, strawberry banana) you like, which is the beauty of this recipe!

What kind of milk is best for a smoothie?

Honestly, any milk works! 

I typically use almond milk for my smoothies, but coconut, oat, soy, or cow’s milk would work just as beautifully. Almond milk tastes light, so I’m getting a more substantial fruit-flavored smoothie. But, again, the choice of milk is entirely up to your personal preference.

Can we pause for a moment and celebrate nut and grain milk options? Oh, the number of dairy-free treats one can make these days!
