Notes
If you have a juicer, it makes things smoother as it removes the fiber and pulp for a smooth finish. However, you can still use a blender if you don’t mind the fiber in your smoothie.
There are many variations to this smoothie. If you decide to use carrots, please cube them before tossing them into the blender.
The one cup of juice and yogurt is subject to change per your taste and preferences. It is also possible to use whole fruit instead of the ready-made juice. This will require a juicer for the perfect Starbucks smoothie. The whole fruit option gives you all the freedom to use your preferred fruit for making the juice.
