Blackberry Yogurt Smoothie with Passion Fruit

Taste

Creamy and tangy, with deep blackberry flavor and a fragrant tropical passion fruit note.

About this smoothie

Blackberries and passion fruit are both fairly tart, so the natural yogurt here does two jobs: it adds creaminess and it softens the acidity. The passion fruit brings a strong tropical fragrance, the blackberries a deep, slightly earthy berry flavor and plenty of fiber.

The original recipe mixed the yogurt with water rather than milk, which keeps the drink lighter and lets the fruit taste clearer. Depending on how ripe your berries are, a teaspoon of honey may be welcome. The smoothie suits breakfast or a light dessert, and it is lovely with frozen blackberries in summer.

Bartender tips

  • Adding the passion fruit at the end keeps its seeds crunchy rather than gritty.
  • Frozen blackberries make it colder and thicker without diluting the flavor.

Variations

Greek style
Use Greek yogurt and a little more water for an even creamier, richer glass.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, they make the smoothie colder and thicker.
