About this smoothie

Berries and yogurt are a familiar breakfast pairing, and in the blender they turn into a thick, lilac coloured smoothie. Natural yogurt contributes protein and a fresh sourness, the berries vitamin C and fibre. Half a banana adds sweetness without dominating.

Using frozen fruit means the drink is cold and thick straight away, with no need for ice. It fits well into a quick breakfast or as a snack after a workout.

Bartender tips

  • Greek yogurt makes it thicker and richer.
  • Sweeten with a little honey only after tasting.

Variations

Vegan version
Use a plant based yogurt made from soy or coconut.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use fruit yogurt?

Yes, but the smoothie becomes noticeably sweeter.

Can I prepare it the night before?

It is best fresh; kept in the fridge it separates and loses its chill.

Is it vegan?

Not with dairy yogurt; use a plant based yogurt instead.
