Coffee-Mate is not just for coffee. I am loving how Coffee-Mate has inspired me to make these fruit smoothies using the French Vanilla flavor.
I love a good smoothie for lunch in the afternoons, it is quick, easy and healthy.
- 1/4 cup Coffee Mate French Vanilla
- 1/4 cup Orange Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Flax-seed
- 1/4 cup Frozen Raspberries
- 1/4 cup Frozen Blueberries
- 1/4 cup Frozen Strawberries
- 1/4 cup Frozen Blackberries
- Place all ingredients into blender and mix until well blended. Serve immediately.
- If not using frozen berries, you may need to add ice. The frozen fruit aids as a thickening agent. You can substitute any fruit in place of berries.
My one tip is to individually freeze your fruit after you have rinsed and dried completely. This makes it much easier to use a few pieces at a time instead of the fruit clumping together.
Have you seen the new designed bottles? Design star David Bromstad has partnered with Coffee-mate and Target, making a splash with limited edition bottle designs inspired by coffee and Coffee-mate. These bottles are a Target exclusive, click HERE to get more information.
I am not a coffee drinker, but I always have a bottle of Coffee-Mate French Vanilla in my refrigerator. I am a tea drinker and I use it every morning in my tea. The french vanilla Coffee-Mate adds enough of a sweet taste that I don’t have to sweeten my tea.

What a great idea to add Coffee Mate to your smoothies. I’m working on a meal replacement plan with smoothies and shakes. This is a great idea for adding more flavor to them. Thanks!
Never even considered using coffee mate for anything other than coffee! thanks for the recipe.
Great recipe idea. A friend of mine just poured some Coffee Mate (chocolate) over his ice cream yesterday! Have you ever tried that?
That is a great idea! I would use it in a milkshake too!
I haven’t used creamer in a long time. I never considered using it for a smoothie though! I love the French Vanilla flavor! Yum!
Beautiful!! Thanks for the recipe.
This is actually the only brand I would buy and the only flavor I love although Hubby loves Hazelnut. Never thought of making smoothies with it before though.
Never tried the hazelnut, I am a French vanilla fan.
I love how we can use coffeemate for many things! These drinks look awesome!
Mmmmm I love smoothies! These look delicious! And refreshing!
Your post reminds me of Wendy’s Frosty. I have always paired it with Coffee Mate. For some reason, Coffee Mate makes some magic in most stuff that you put it on.
I’ve used the Sweet Cream flavor in smoothies before. YUM!
What a brilliant idea to use Vanilla Coffee-mate in smoothies! I never would have thought of this but I bet its absolutely perfect!
You drinks look fabulous! Do you have enough for me, too? 😛
Oh I have never thought that you can make other drinks from Coffee Mate. I’ll try to mix ours also with fruits. 🙂
Everything looks so yummy! Me and my family totally love smoothies. Thanks you so much for sharing the great recipe 😀
I have used Coffee-mate in my coffee but never thought about it for anything else. This is a great idea, thanks for the post.
