- Food allergies are common, and many people have a dairy allergy, making it difficult for them to have some types of fruit smoothies that are made with dairy products. For those who are health conscious, non-dairy fruit smoothies are a healthy treat that can satisfy a sweet tooth.
- There are as many types of non-dairy fruit smoothies as there are fruits. One-fruit smoothies can be banana smoothies or strawberry smoothies. Several types of fruit can be mixed together to create a smoothie with your favorite flavors. You can mix many different types of fruits together, such as apples and kiwi, or blueberries, raspberries and bananas.
- The most important feature of a non-dairy fruit smoothie is that the ingredients do not involve any milk products. They use either ice or frozen fruit with fresh fruit cut into chunks and blended all together.
- Frozen fruit can make for a tastier treat than a smoothie made with ice. The frozen fruit will create the same texture as the ice, but will add to the fruit taste and will not water the smoothie down in any way. Since regular smoothies are made with cow's milk or yogurt, substitute these ingredients with soy-based products, or use any of the other non-dairy ingredients available, such as almond or rice milk.
- It is important to know the ingredients in your smoothie. Friends and family will tell you which products they used, but a restaurant or vendor may not. Since you cannot control what others put in their products, or whether they know all dairy products, it may be best to drink a non-dairy fruit smoothie that you, or someone you trust, make.
