Banana Blackberry Smoothie
Creamy and fruity, with the winey tartness of blackberries softened by banana and yogurt.
Blackberries grow wild along hedges and forest edges in much of Europe and ripen in late summer, but frozen ones are available all year. They are a source of fibre and vitamin C and owe their near black colour to anthocyanins. The small seeds are part of the charm; a strong blender breaks most of them down. With milk and yogurt the smoothie becomes creamy and filling, a good breakfast or a snack after exercise.
Yes, they make the smoothie thicker and colder.
Blend longer or pour the smoothie through a fine sieve.
