Blueberry Smoothie

With the US blueberry season here again, our supermarkets are once again well stocked with cheap and fresh blueberries. I bought mine at S$2.50 a punnet. As usual, I couldn’t resist buying more punnets of blueberries than I possibly need, and so I thought of putting the excess to good use by making this blueberry smoothie. The drink is quite chunky and filling on its own because of the yoghurt and milk. This drink can make for a light and healthy breakfast, or an in-between meals snack.

Ingredients
(Makes one tall glass about 250ml, or 2 short glasses for dessert)

- 150g low fat plain or vanilla flavoured yogurt
- 125g fresh blueberries
- 100ml milk
- 2 tsp honey (optional; I omit this because I like the natural sourness of the blueberries)

Directions
1. Blend everything together in a blender.

Tips
1. If you like some blueberry bits in the smoothie like I do, just blend for a few seconds. If not, blend a little longer.
2. Adjust the milk for the consistency you like – less milk for thicker smoothie, and more milk for less thick.
3. You can also add in one ripe banana in the blend for extra sweetness.

I have blueberry smoothie every morning and substituted the milk for almond milk.

It is berry and cherry season in the US…Yessss! Peaches and plums too….I had my share before I came back. You know me – fresh berries usually cannot last for me to make smoothies as such. Maybe I can try frozen berries for shakes and smoothies and keep the fresh ones to send straight into my stomach. Heh heh….

I like that those bits in your smoothie :)

It’s great when blueberries are cheap. We tend to buy a lot when they are on sale.

I bought a few punnets from NTUC too! But we ate it on it’s own as I’m too lazy to prepare them in other ways.

How I wish it was blueberry season in Sydney – they are prohibitively expensive now. Could I use frozen berries for this?

Yes you can! come December, when it’s winter in US, Australia will be filled with summer produce like these blueberries :)

Definitely a great breakfast pick me up drink. Guess what, I still have loads of blueberries from the last season (haha)! So I won’t be buying any this time round that’s for sure.

Just got back from a holiday where I had watermelon smoothie, mango smoothie and a ‘Mars Bar’ smoothie – love smoothies. This blueberry smoothie looks divine. Is the straw too thin for the smoothie?

Wiffy, this is my type of drink too! A bit like blueberry lassi … or maybe it is! Haha! I saw punnets of blueberries on sale at Cold Storage … was hesitating if I should get them to make something … Maybe I should. *Sigh*
