Blueberry, Rocket and Apple Smoothie

A generous portion of blueberries turns this smoothie deep violet and hides the rocket almost completely. Only a faint peppery note in the finish reminds you it is there.

Blueberry, Rocket and Apple Smoothie

Taste

Fruity and mildly sweet, with rich blueberry flavour, fresh apple and a hint of pepper.

About this smoothie

Blueberries are one of the most popular smoothie berries: they are mild, sweet and give an intense colour thanks to their natural pigments. Red apple adds juiciness and a fresh acidity, and rocket brings a subtle peppery touch that keeps the drink from being too sweet.

Frozen wild blueberries are a practical alternative to fresh ones and have a particularly strong flavour. This smoothie makes a colourful breakfast and is a gentle way to add greens to your day.

Bartender tips

  • Frozen blueberries make the smoothie thicker and colder.
  • Blueberries stain: rinse the blender right after use.

Variations

Mixed berry version
Use a mix of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries instead of blueberries alone.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, they work very well and make the smoothie icy cold.

Can I taste the rocket?

Only slightly, as a light peppery note in the finish.

Is it vegan?

Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey.
