About this smoothie
The name promises good mood, and the recipe keeps things deliberately simple: fruit you probably have at home, plus yoghurt and milk. Banana provides sweetness and body, blueberries a light tartness and colour.
Natural yoghurt and milk add protein and make the smoothie filling enough to count as a small breakfast. Because it contains no added sugar, the sweetness depends on how ripe your banana is. A version with more yoghurt than milk turns thicker and fits nicely in a jar to take along.
Bartender tips
Frozen blueberries make it colder and give a deeper colour.

Variations
With oats
