I woke up this morning really craving a juice or smoothie instead of cereal. While I'm at home from university, I really want to take advantage of the fresh fruit and vegetables that are a l w a y s readily available in the house. (I can rarely afford lots of fruit while at university, haha.) Anyway, this week there were blueberries to use up, so I thought what better to have than a blueberry smoothie. Very random, very impromptu, but here's what ended up happening.
I placed two handfuls of blueberries into a blender alongside one frozen banana, a tablespoon of natural yoghurt, a squeeze of honey and a splash of milk.
I blitzed the mixture until it was smooth but it was quite thick, so I added some more milk and blended it again.
The end result was a 'thickie' instead of a smoothie, but it was good nonetheless. I poured it into a glass and ended up enjoying it with a spoon! Next time I make it I'll probably pour it into a bowl and top it with fruit and granola etc. That would be my suggestion if you decided to make this exact recipe. If you want the texture of the smoothie to be a little less viscous, I would suggest adding about 100ml of juice instead of milk and adding ice to help the fruit blend a lot better.
Whatever way you decide to have this thickie, I hope you enjoy it, and please do tell me if you make it! Let me know in the comments below, share your pictures with me and subscribe to your right for more recipes like these!
