About this smoothie
Berries, yogurt and oats are a familiar breakfast combination, and the blender simply brings them together in one glass. Frozen berry mixes are practical because they are always at hand and give the smoothie a pleasant chill.
The banana smooths out the tartness of redcurrants and raspberries, while milk and yogurt provide protein and calcium. A reliable everyday breakfast for any time of year.
Bartender tips
If the berries are very tart, a teaspoon of honey balances them.
Use Greek yogurt for an even thicker, spoonable smoothie.
Variations
As a bowl
Use only 100 ml milk and top the thick smoothie with fresh fruit and seeds.
