Coconut Banana Smoothie with Blueberries

Taste

Creamy and fruity, with sweet blueberries, mellow banana and a subtle coconut finish.

About this smoothie

Blueberries are among the most popular smoothie berries, colourful, mild and easy to find frozen. They owe their deep blue to anthocyanins and also provide some vitamin C and fibre. Banana and natural yogurt make the texture creamy, and the coconut oil adds a light coconut note. Because it is mostly saturated fat, one teaspoon is enough. With water as the liquid, the smoothie stays light despite its creaminess. A good breakfast glass or snack after sport.

Bartender tips

  • Coconut oil sets when cold; melt it gently and blend it with the room temperature ingredients first, so it does not form small flakes.
  • Wild blueberries have a more intense flavour and colour than cultivated ones.

Variations

With oats
Blend in 1 tbsp rolled oats for a more filling breakfast glass.
