Banana Blueberry Smoothie with Raspberries

Taste

Light and fruity, with fresh raspberry acidity, soft blueberry sweetness and a smooth banana base.

About this smoothie

Water based fruit smoothies are the lightest kind and let the fruit taste as it is. Raspberries bring a strong, fresh acidity and plenty of fibre, blueberries a gentler sweetness and a dark colour, and banana ties them together. A teaspoon of honey is optional and only needed if the berries are tart. The result is a refreshing glass for a warm morning or an afternoon snack.

Bartender tips

  • Use frozen berries in winter; they are picked ripe and often taste better than imported fresh ones.
  • Replace the honey with agave syrup for a vegan glass.

Variations

With mint
Blend in 4 to 5 mint leaves for an extra fresh note.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen berries?

Yes, they give a colder, thicker smoothie.

Is honey necessary?

No. With a ripe banana most people do not need it.

Can I prepare it ahead?

Drink it within a few hours; the raspberries make it thicken and separate.
