Banana and blueberry is one of the most reliable pairings in any blender. A spoon of yogurt adds a hint of tang, and cold water keeps the glass light instead of heavy.

Banana Smoothie with Blueberries
Taste
Soft and fruity, with mellow banana, a light berry tartness and a gentle yogurt tang.
About this smoothie
Blueberries are one of the most popular smoothie berries because they are available frozen all year and colour a drink beautifully. Their blue pigment comes from anthocyanins, and they also bring some vitamin C and fibre. Banana supplies natural sweetness and body, so no sugar is needed. With only two tablespoons of yogurt and water as the liquid, this smoothie stays light and refreshing. It is a good everyday breakfast glass or a quick snack before sport.
Bartender tips
Use frozen blueberries for a colder, thicker smoothie with deeper colour.
For more protein, swap the natural yogurt for Greek yogurt.
Variations
With oats
Blend in 1 tbsp rolled oats for a more filling breakfast version.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, they work very well and make the smoothie thicker and colder.
Can I make it without yogurt?
Yes, simply leave it out or use a plant based yogurt; the smoothie becomes a little thinner.
