Freeze-dried blueberries are available from good health food stores and some supermarkets.
Ingredients
- 250 g (9 oz/1 cup) natural yoghurt or 250 ml (8½ oz/1 cup) milk kefir
- 60 g (2 oz/½ cup) crushed ice
- 2 peeled bananas, frozen and roughly chopped
- 150 g (5½ oz/1 cup) frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp ground linseed ( flaxseed meal)
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
- freshly squeezed lime juice, to taste
- honey, to taste
To serve
- natural yoghurt
- sliced banana
- fresh blueberries
- freeze-dried and/or dried blueberries
- dried mulberries
- activated buckwheat
- edible flowers
Instructions
Whiz the yoghurt or kefir with the ice, banana, blueberries, linseed and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender or small food processor until smooth. Scrape down the inside of the blender or processor bowl if required. If the mixture isn’t moving well in the blender, add a tablespoon or two of water or kefir, being careful not to add too much liquid.
Taste the smoothie and add a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of honey to balance the flavour to your liking.
Spoon the thick smoothie mixture immediately into two chilled bowls and top with a swirl of yoghurt. Scatter with the banana, berries, buckwheat and flowers.
Note:
• To make dairy free, replace the yoghurt and/or milk kefir with a non-dairy alternative. To make vegan, also swap the honey for rice malt syrup, pure maple syrup or a couple of drops of liquid stevia.
