Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• Milk of choice (1 cup): whole, 2%, oat, almond, or cashew
• Greek yogurt or frozen banana (1/2 cup yogurt or 1 medium frozen banana) for creaminess
• Unsweetened cocoa powder (2 tablespoons) or chocolate syrup for a sweeter version
• Graham crackers (2 full sheets), plus extra for garnish
• Marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows (2–3 tablespoons fluff, or 1/2 cup minis)
• Ice (1 cup) for thickness
• Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
• Optional sweetener: maple syrup, honey, or dates (1–2 teaspoons or 1–2 pitted dates)
• Optional add-ins: pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, or 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• Optional topping: whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup

Method

 

1. Prep your glass: If you want the full s’mores vibe, crush half a graham cracker and rim your glass with a little honey or chocolate syrup, then dip into the crumbs.
2. Load the blender: Add milk, yogurt or frozen banana, cocoa powder, graham crackers, marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows, vanilla, and ice. Start with no added sweetener.
3. Blend until smooth: Run on high for 30–45 seconds. The graham crackers should fully break down, giving a lightly toasty flavor and a smooth sip.
4. Taste and adjust: If you want it sweeter, add a small amount of maple syrup, honey, or a date. If you want it thicker, add a few more ice cubes or a bit more frozen banana.
5. Optional protein: For a more filling smoothie, blend in a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Add a splash more milk if it gets too thick.
6. Pour and top: Pour into your prepared glass. Finish with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate, a sprinkle of graham crumbs, and a toasted mini marshmallow if you want to go all-in.

What Makes This Special

This smoothie takes everything you love about s’mores and delivers it with no mess and no smoke. It’s thick, dessert-like, and still simple enough for a weekday treat.

With a few clever swaps, you can keep the flavor while trimming the sugar or adding a bit of protein. The texture is creamy but not heavy, and the graham cracker adds a hint of warmth you can’t get from chocolate alone. Best part: it scales easily, so you can make one glass or a whole blender for friends.

Keeping It Fresh

This smoothie tastes best right after blending, when it’s thick and frosty. If you need to make it ahead, store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Give it a good shake before drinking, as the graham and cocoa can settle. For longer storage, pour into an ice cube tray, freeze, and re-blend with a splash of milk when you’re ready.

Health Benefits

• Balanced indulgence: Using Greek yogurt or a protein powder adds protein that helps steady energy and keeps you satisfied.
• Cocoa perks: Unsweetened cocoa provides flavanols, which support heart health and add rich chocolate flavor without excess sugar.
• Smart sweetness: Choosing maple syrup, honey, or dates lets you control the sweetness more precisely than pre-sweetened syrups.
• Dairy-free friendly: Oat or almond milk and a frozen banana make it creamy without dairy.
• Texture with purpose: Graham crackers add a little fiber and that signature s’mores taste, so you get flavor and body without needing ice cream.

What Not to Do

• Don’t skip the vanilla: It lifts the chocolate and marshmallow flavors and makes the whole smoothie taste more like a true s’more.
• Don’t overdo the marshmallows: Too many can make the texture gluey. Start small and adjust.
• Don’t blend too long after it’s smooth: Over-blending warms the smoothie and thins it out.
• Don’t add hot ingredients: Warm milk or freshly melted chocolate will melt the ice and flatten the texture.
• Don’t forget balance: If you add chocolate syrup and marshmallows, consider keeping the yogurt unsweetened and skipping extra sweetener.

Alternatives

• Dairy-free: Use oat or almond milk and skip yogurt; use a frozen banana for creaminess.

  Coconut whipped cream makes a great topping.

• High-protein: Add chocolate protein powder and use Greek yogurt. This version works well for breakfast or post-workout.
• Lower sugar: Use unsweetened cocoa, rely on the banana for sweetness, and keep marshmallows minimal. A date adds sweetness with fiber.
• Mocha twist: Add a shot of chilled espresso or 1 teaspoon instant coffee.

  It turns the smoothie into a grown-up treat.

• Nutty campfire: Blend in 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter. It deepens the flavor and makes it more filling.
• Chocolate chip crunch: Pulse in a tablespoon of mini chocolate chips at the end for texture.
• Toasted marshmallow flavor: If you have a kitchen torch, briefly toast a few mini marshmallows and blend them in or use them on top.

FAQ

Can I make this without graham crackers?

Yes. Use 1–2 tablespoons of quick oats and a tiny pinch of cinnamon to mimic some of that toasty note.

It won’t be exactly the same, but it still tastes great.

What’s the best milk for this smoothie?

Whole milk and cashew milk make it extra creamy. Oat milk gives a neutral, slightly sweet base, while almond milk keeps it light. Use what you like and what fits your diet.

Do I need marshmallow fluff?

No.

Mini marshmallows blend well, or you can use a small splash of vanilla creamer for a similar sweet hint. If skipping marshmallow altogether, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon vanilla for aroma.

How can I thicken the smoothie without adding more ice?

Use a frozen banana, extra Greek yogurt, or toss in a few frozen milk cubes. A tablespoon of chia seeds will also thicken it after a 5-minute rest.

Can I make it ahead for a party?

Blend a large batch, store it in the fridge for up to a day, and whisk or re-blend before serving.

Set out toppings—whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, graham crumbs—so guests can finish their own glass.

Is there a way to make it vegan?

Yes. Use plant milk, skip yogurt (or use a dairy-free yogurt), use vegan marshmallows, and finish with coconut whipped cream. Sweeten with maple syrup or dates.

How do I keep it from getting watery?

Use cold ingredients, frozen banana instead of fresh, and add ice last.

If it still thins out, blend in a few more graham crumbs or a small handful of frozen milk cubes.

Can kids help make it?

Absolutely. Kids can add ingredients, press the blender button with supervision, and decorate with whipped cream and crumbs. Keep the measuring simple and make it a fun, hands-on treat.

Final Thoughts

A S’mores Smoothie delivers the comfort of a campfire classic with none of the hassle.

It’s quick to blend, easy to customize, and hits that sweet spot between treat and comfort drink. Keep the base simple, then tweak it for protein, dairy-free needs, or a lighter touch. Stock a box of graham crackers in the pantry and you’ll have everything you need for a little taste of summer, any day of the year.
