Taste
Fruity and sweet, with ripe blueberry, soft banana and a subtle peppery finish.
About this smoothie
Blueberries get their deep colour from anthocyanins, natural plant pigments. They are sweet, slightly tart and blend into a thick, smooth texture. Half a banana adds body and extra sweetness.
Rocket is an unusual partner, but its peppery note works well with dark berries, much like black pepper with strawberries. Coconut water keeps the drink light and adds a mild sweetness. A fruity smoothie with a surprising twist.
Bartender tips
Frozen blueberries work very well and make the smoothie thick and cold.
Blueberry stains are hard to remove, so rinse your blender and glass right away.
Variations
With spinach
Replace the rocket with baby spinach if you prefer no peppery note.
Frequently asked questions
Can I taste the rocket?
Only slightly, as a peppery note at the end. The blueberries dominate.
