Blueberry Banana Smoothie with Yogurt

Taste

Mild, creamy and sweet, with a soft blueberry flavor and a light yogurt tang.

About this smoothie

Blueberries have a gentle, rounded sweetness and only mild acidity, which is why they blend so easily with banana. Here a generous spoonful of natural yogurt and cold milk make the drink creamy and filling, without the oats of the breakfast versions. Blueberries are a good source of vitamin C and fiber, bananas of potassium.

The smoothie is sweet enough on its own if the banana is ripe. Frozen blueberries are practical all year and give a colder, thicker texture. It makes a quick breakfast, an after-school snack or a light dessert.

Bartender tips

  • A ripe, speckled banana makes any sweetener unnecessary.
  • Frozen banana slices give a milkshake-like texture.

Variations

With oats
Add 2 tbsp rolled oats for a more filling breakfast version.
