Gather all the ingredients needed for your smoothies, measuring out 1 cup of fruit and 1 tablespoon of yogurt if desired.

In a blender, combine the chosen fruit with any additional ingredients like yogurt or leafy greens, secure the lid, and blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds.

Check the smoothie consistency; if it's too thick, add a splash of milk or juice and blend for another 15 seconds.

Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with a slice of fruit or sprinkle of nuts, and serve immediately.
