About this smoothie
Mixing several berries gives a more complex flavour than any single one. Blackberries and blueberries contribute deep colour from anthocyanins, raspberries add perfume and acidity. All three are known as good sources of fibre and vitamin C. Coconut milk drink and a teaspoon of coconut oil give the smoothie a round, tropical creaminess without dairy. It works well at breakfast or as a light dessert in summer.
Bartender tips
Add the melted coconut oil while the blender is running so it does not form small lumps in the cold liquid.
Frozen berries are a good substitute and make the drink thicker.
Variations
With banana
Add half a banana for more sweetness and body.
