Hazelnut Smoothie

Nutty, creamy and just sweet enough, this glass tastes a little like dessert without being one. Ripe banana and yoghurt make it thick and filling.

About this smoothie

Hazelnut milk is a plant-based drink made from ground hazelnuts and water; it has a toasty, slightly sweet flavour that pairs naturally with banana. Natural yoghurt adds tang, protein and a thick texture, and a splash of cow's milk softens the nut flavour. Ripe bananas supply natural sweetness, so no sugar is needed. The smoothie fills you up well and works as a quick breakfast or a snack after sport.

Bartender tips

  • A frozen banana makes it almost like a milkshake.
  • A teaspoon of roasted hazelnuts blended in intensifies the nut flavour.

Variations

Chocolate hazelnut
Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
