Banana Blueberry Smoothie with Blackberries and Milk

Taste

Creamy and smooth like a light milkshake, with sweet banana and a gentle tartness from the berries.

About this smoothie

Berry and banana smoothies made with milk are a household standard in many countries, and for good reason. The milk and yogurt add protein and calcium and make the drink more filling than a water based smoothie. Blackberries bring a slightly winey tartness, blueberries a milder sweetness, and both are rich in natural pigments. This glass works well as a quick breakfast or after training, when you want something substantial.

Bartender tips

  • If the blackberry seeds bother you, use only blueberries or strain the finished smoothie.
  • A frozen banana gives the glass a milkshake texture.

Variations

Plant based
Use oat milk and soy yogurt instead of dairy for a vegan version.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use low fat milk?

Yes. The smoothie will be a little thinner but just as fruity.

Can I use frozen berries?

Yes, frozen berries make it colder and thicker.

Can I prepare it the night before?

It keeps in the fridge for about 12 hours; shake well because it thickens.
