About this smoothie

This is the creamy apple smoothie with a handful of blueberries added. They bring colour, a light tartness and their typical anthocyanin pigments, and they make the drink look much more inviting. Apple and pear keep the base sweet and mild.

Frozen wild blueberries are a good option all year and have a more intense flavour than large cultivated berries. Serve it for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

Bartender tips

  • Frozen blueberries thicken and chill the smoothie at the same time.
  • If the colour turns greyish, add a few more berries or a squeeze of lemon.

Variations

With oats
Add 1 tbsp rolled oats for a more filling breakfast.
