About this smoothie

Blueberries are small but intense: they colour everything they touch and bring a gentle sweet and sour flavour. They also contain vitamin C and dietary fibre.

Banana and sultanas add natural sweetness, while yogurt and milk make the smoothie creamy and contribute protein. It is quick to make and works well as breakfast or a snack in the late morning. Wild blueberries give a darker colour and stronger taste than cultivated ones.

Bartender tips

  • Frozen wild blueberries give the most intense colour and flavour.
  • Add 2 tbsp rolled oats if you want it more filling.

Variations

Blueberry vanilla
Add a pinch of vanilla or a few drops of vanilla extract.

Why are my teeth purple afterwards?
