Berry Banana Smoothie with Yogurt

Here yogurt is the liquid, not an extra. That makes the smoothie thick enough to eat with a spoon if you like, with a pleasant tang that suits the berries.

Taste

Thick and creamy, with tangy yogurt, fresh raspberries, sweet blueberries and banana.

About this smoothie

Yogurt based smoothies sit somewhere between a drink and a breakfast bowl. Natural yogurt adds protein and a fresh acidity, and it makes the texture dense without any ice. Raspberries and blueberries bring colour, fibre and a mix of sweet and sour, while the banana adds body and natural sweetness. Only sweeten if your berries are very tart. It is a filling glass for breakfast or after training, and it also works as a light dessert.

Bartender tips

  • If the smoothie is too thick, add 30 to 50 ml cold water or milk.
  • Greek yogurt makes it even thicker and higher in protein.

Variations

Vegan berry
Use soy or coconut yogurt and sweeten with agave syrup.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen berries?

Yes, but the smoothie gets very thick; add a splash of water.

Which yogurt is best?

Plain natural yogurt with 1.5 to 3.5 percent fat; flavoured yogurts make it too sweet.

Can I prepare it in advance?

It keeps in the fridge for about 12 hours; stir before drinking.
