Straight from the freezer to the blender: frozen berries chill the yogurt instantly and give it a thick, almost frozen yogurt texture. Half a banana adds sweetness and body.

Frozen Berry Yogurt Smoothie
Taste
Ice cold and thick, tangy from yogurt and berries, gently sweet from banana.
About this smoothie
Frozen berries are the smoothie maker's best friend. They are picked and frozen when ripe, are available all year and make ice cubes unnecessary. Mixed with natural yogurt they give a thick, tangy drink with a strong pink colour. Yogurt adds protein and a fresh acidity, and the half banana smooths out the sourness of the berries. A small splash of water helps the blender. It suits a quick breakfast or a cooling snack on a hot day.
Bartender tips
Liquids first, frozen fruit last: this protects the blades and blends more evenly.
Let the berries thaw for 5 minutes if your blender is not very powerful.
Variations
Smoothie bowl
Leave out the water, blend very thick and top with granola and fresh fruit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use fresh berries?
Yes, but add a few ice cubes to keep it cold and thick.
Can I make it vegan?
Yes, use soy or coconut yogurt and agave syrup.
Why is my blender struggling?
Frozen fruit is hard; add 20 to 30 ml more water or let the berries soften briefly.
