Smoothie King Yogurt D-Lite

“Quick and easy. Instead of turbinado, I put a squeeze of chocolate sauce in there and it was perfect!”
🙂 Julie T.

Yogurt D-Lite, a copycat Enjoy A Treat Blend Smoothie King recipe, is a creamy and refreshing blend of nonfat milk, vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt, turbinado, whey protein powder, and ice. This delightful smoothie offers a perfect balance of sweetness and protein, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying snack or post-workout treat.

This smoothie is rich in protein, which helps with muscle recovery and growth, thanks to the whey protein powder. The nonfat milk and yogurt provide calcium, supporting bone health. The vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt adds a dose of probiotics, promoting a healthy gut. Turbinado, a less processed sugar, offers a touch of natural sweetness while retaining some of the nutrients found in raw sugar.

Health Benefits

Milk – Milk, mainly from cows, sheep, and goats, has been consumed through out the world for thousands of years. It is protein-rich and packed with important nutrients including, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and selenium. Milk is known to benefit bone health and may prevent osteoporosis.

Nonfat Frozen Yogurt – Nonfat frozen yogurt is often hailed as a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream. It includes yogurt culture probiotics lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus and is often made with agave nectar instead of high-calorie sugar. Nonfat frozen yogurt is a common choice among those wanting to reduce their caloric intake.

Turbinado – Turbinado is organically grown, partially refined “raw” sugar. It is similar to refined white sugar in calories and carbohydrates and, although marketed as such, is not a sugar substitute. Turbinado provides little, if any, additional health benefit.

Whey Protein Powder – Whey protein powder is the most highly studied nutritional supplement readily available, providing great nutritional value and numerous health benefits. In addition to high quality protein, it also contains bioactive peptides called lactokinins. Whey protein powder promotes muscle growth and maintenance, helps lower blood pressure, can lessen the effects of Type 2 diabetes, and reduces inflammation.

Equipment Needed

A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.

How To Make The Smoothie King Yogurt D-Lite

The Smoothie King Yogurt D-Lite is very easy to make:

Step 1: Place nonfat milk, vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt, turbinado, whey protein powder, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

You can substitute the nonfat milk with almond milk or soy milk for a dairy-free version.

For a vegan option, replace the whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder and use a dairy-free yogurt alternative.

Add a handful of berries or a spoonful of nut butter for extra flavor and nutrients.

Yes, you can use Greek yogurt instead of nonfat frozen yogurt. Greek yogurt will add a tangy flavor and an extra boost of protein, making the smoothie even more nutritious.
