Blueberries and banana are one of the most reliable smoothie pairings, fruity and creamy in equal measure. Here almond milk and plenty of yoghurt make it thick and rich.
½
banana
60 g
blueberries
5 tbsp
natural yogurt
5 oz
almond milk
Garnish: A few blueberries · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and fruity, with sweet banana, tangy yoghurt and juicy blueberries.
Blueberries give this smoothie its deep lilac colour; the pigments responsible are anthocyanins. The berries also bring fibre and vitamin C, while banana adds natural sweetness and a smooth texture. A generous amount of yoghurt adds protein and a fresh tang, and almond milk keeps the base light with a hint of nuttiness.
This version is a good breakfast smoothie and also works after sport. Wild blueberries have a stronger flavour and colour than cultivated ones, and frozen berries are a practical choice all year.
Yes, they work very well and chill the smoothie.
Not with dairy yoghurt; use a plant based yoghurt instead.
It keeps in a closed jar in the fridge for up to a day. Stir or shake before drinking.
