Yogurt Smoothie with Blackberries and Coconut Milk

Taste

Creamy and rich, with dark berry tartness, mellow banana and a soft coconut finish.

About this smoothie

Blackberries have a strong, slightly winey flavour that stands up well to rich ingredients like coconut milk. They are a good source of fibre and get their dark colour from anthocyanins. Natural yogurt adds freshness and a little protein, and the banana gives sweetness and body. The original recipe had no yogurt despite its name; three tablespoons bring it in line with the title and balance the coconut milk. A filling glass for breakfast or a creamy snack.

Bartender tips

  • For a lighter smoothie, replace the canned coconut milk with a coconut drink from a carton.
  • Strain through a sieve if you want to remove the blackberry seeds.

Variations

Vegan
Use coconut yogurt instead of dairy yogurt for a fully plant based glass.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen blackberries?

Yes, they make the smoothie colder and thicker.

Is coconut milk very rich?

Canned coconut milk is high in fat, which is why this recipe mixes it with water.

Can I prepare it the night before?

It keeps in the fridge for about 12 hours; shake well before drinking.
