Dark plums turn this smoothie a dusky pink and bring a gentle tartness from their skins. With water instead of milk and only a spoonful of yoghurt, it stays light and fruity.

Fruity and softly tart, with a light, silky texture and a mild yoghurt note.
Plums are a late summer fruit, and very ripe ones are ideal for smoothies: soft, sweet and full of juice. Their skin carries most of the colour and a little tartness, so there is no need to peel them. The banana gives body, and a single spoon of natural yoghurt adds just enough creaminess without making the drink heavy.
This version is lighter than a milk smoothie and works as a fresh breakfast glass or an afternoon snack in plum season.
No. The skin blends well and gives the smoothie its colour.
