Berry Coconut Smoothie with Soy Yoghurt

A few mint leaves make all the difference here: they lift the tart berries and give the glass a cool, clean finish. Banana and soy yoghurt keep it creamy without any dairy.

About this smoothie

This smoothie is fully plant based. The frozen berries bring colour and tartness, the banana adds sweetness and body, and soy yoghurt contributes creaminess and some protein. Coconut water, the clear liquid from young coconuts, keeps it lighter than a milk based smoothie.

It is a good breakfast for anyone avoiding dairy and a refreshing glass after exercise. The mint is subtle, so even people who are unsure about herbs in drinks tend to like it.

Bartender tips

  • Use a very ripe banana with brown spots for natural sweetness.
  • Plain unsweetened soy yoghurt keeps the sugar in check; vanilla yoghurt makes it more dessert like.

Variations

With oats
Add 1 tablespoon of rolled oats for a more filling breakfast glass.
