About this smoothie
Blueberries give smoothies their colour and a gentle tartness; they also contain vitamin C and fibre. The ripe banana balances them with sweetness and body, so the honey is really optional.
Natural yoghurt adds a little tang and protein, whole milk makes the texture round and mild. The result is a classic breakfast smoothie that also works well after sport, when you want something filling but not heavy. Children usually like it too, thanks to its mild taste.
Bartender tips
Freeze sliced banana in advance for a thick, milkshake style texture.
The riper the banana, the less honey you need.
Variations
Vegan
Use oat milk and soy or coconut yoghurt and sweeten with agave syrup.
