Fresh, tangy and fruity, with a light creamy body and a gentle sweetness from rice milk and banana.
About this smoothie
Rice milk is one of the mildest plant drinks: naturally sweet, thin and neutral, so it lets the fruit take the lead. Here it carries two berries with different characters, fragrant, tart raspberries and softer blueberries, plus a little banana and natural yoghurt for creaminess.
Raspberries are a good source of vitamin C and fibre. Because rice milk is lighter than cow's milk, this smoothie feels refreshing rather than heavy and suits a summer breakfast.
Bartender tips
Rice milk is thin, so frozen berries help to get a thicker smoothie.
Strain it through a sieve if you dislike raspberry seeds.
Variations
Vegan version
Use soy yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use another plant drink?
Yes. Oat or almond drink make it slightly creamier and less sweet.
Can I use frozen berries?
Yes, and they give a thicker, colder result.
Is it very sweet?
No. It is mildly sweet and pleasantly tart; add 1 tsp honey if you prefer it sweeter.
