Copycat Danimals Smoothies — A three ingredient drinkable yogurt recipe

A while back, Chef Sheila shared an easy copycat Danimals Smoothies recipe with us. Her three ingredient drinkable yogurt was a hit over here, and she has kindly given her permission to write it up for all of you! Thanks. 🙂

Copycat Danimals Smoothies (drinkable yogurt)

Ingredients

One cup strawberry yogurt
1/2-1 cup milk (depending on thickness of yogurt)
1 Tbsp strawberry jam

Directions

Use a blender, hand mixer, or immersion blender to mix all ingredients until smooth. (Start with 1/2 cup of milk and thin out as necessary with additional milk.) Drink immediately, or store in refrigerator — if there’s any left, lol.

What these two left me with here…

Make this basic recipe your own! You can use all organic ingredients to make organic drinkable yogurt, and/or change up the flavors as desired. Try peach yogurt with apricot jam, vanilla yogurt with strawberry jam, or even substitute coconut milk yogurt and nondairy milk for a dairy-free copycat Danimals Smoothies option.

Cheaper and fresher than store bought

The everyday price of a six pack of 3.1 oz drinkable Danimals is about $3.00 in my area, making them $.50 per tiny bottle. One cup of yogurt plus one cup of milk plus a little jam makes a little over five bottles worth — but milk and large tubs of yogurt are considerably cheaper per ounce, and yogurt is often on sale and available at a good price with coupons. Here I actually used two little Annie’s organic yogurts (which came to one cup exactly) from a free promo recently, but you could use your own favorite brand.

Copycat Danimals smoothies were a hit with both Mr. 9 and his delightful friend Ms. 8. And I quote: These taste just like Danimals!!
