Hi Everyone,
Happy Friday to you!!! Remember the giveaway that I posted for McCormicks 125th anniversary? Well you may recall that there was a smoothie in one of the pictures. Well today I am sharing with you my Root Beer Float Smoothie recipe. Yummers!
This smoothie is amazing! It’s creamy,smooth, sweet and tastes like a root beer float with a hint of banana. Oddly enough banana and root beer go pretty well together. I was a little unsure at first, but my taste buds were pleasantly surprised and happy. I went with a banana because I wanted an ice cream type texture in my smoothie. After all I am trying to mimic a root beer float.
Besides a banana, I also used greek yogurt, coconut milk and of course McCormick’s Root Beer Concentrate. The root beer concentrate is wonderful and will give any dish you use it in a nice root beer flavor. A little bit goes a long way!! So don’t use a lot of concentrate. When I made the smoothie the first time I used to much and WOWZERS it was over whelming.
- 1 banana, frozen
- ½ cup greek yogurt plain
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
- Heaping ¼ tsp. McCormick Root Beer Concentrate
- ¼ tsp. stevia or sugar to taste
- 1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened from carton
- ½ cup ice
- Add all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

This root beer float smoothie is so clever I have no words! Perfection!
Ahhhh, your so sweet! Thank you Jocelyn.
Where do you get the McCormick’s Root Beer Concentrate. I have never heard of it.
Hi Vicki! You should be able to buy it at the grocery store with the extracts. I have seen it at my local grocery store and Walmart.
Sounds yummy to me! 🙂
Thanks Joanna! 🙂
What a fun, unique smoothie. I would never have thought to use root beer extract. Very creative!
Thank you so much Chris!!
I really enjoy the recipes. Thank you
Ahhhh, thank you so much Deeann!
This is so good by itself, but I went a step further by adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder & 1/8 c more milk & it was fantastic.
