-
Prep time: 5 mins
-
Serves: 1
Ingredients
You can use any soft fruit like strawberries, raspberries or peaches to make smoothies - and when fresh fruit isn't in season, try using canned or frozen fruit.
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 75g fresh blueberries, plus extra to decorate
- 150ml plain yogurt
- 1 tsp runny honey, optional
Method
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve right away decorated with a couple of extra blueberries. Alternatively, make in advance, cover the surface with kitchen film and keep in the fridge until needed (although it will be more nutritious if you drink it right away).
