About this smoothie
Grapes are one of the juiciest fruits for smoothies and bring a lot of natural sweetness, which balances the mild tartness of blueberries. Seedless varieties are easiest, as the seeds can taste bitter when blended.
Blueberries add colour, vitamin C and fibre, and half a banana gives the smoothie body. With water as the base it stays light and completely plant based, ideal as a fruity snack or with breakfast.
Bartender tips
Freeze the grapes beforehand: they chill the smoothie like ice cubes, but add flavour.
Red grapes work too and make the colour even darker.
Variations
With yogurt
Replace half the water with natural yogurt for a creamier version.
