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.
