- Can I use cow's milk?
- Yes, absolutely. Almond milk is just an option for those following a plant-based diet or for the specific flavour.
- It's too thick, what should I do?
- Frozen fruit thickens the mixture. Add a little more liquid (milk or water) and blend again.
Creamy blueberry smoothie
A smoothie is more than just a shake: it's a complete breakfast in a glass. The banana not only sweetens but, due to its starch and fibre content, gives the drink a thick, creamy consistency (body), replacing cream or ice cream. The polyphenols in the blueberries and Vitamin E in the almonds turn this purple wonder into a nutrient bomb.

Instructions
1
✓
Break the banana into the blender. Add the blueberries, honey, and almond milk.
Tip: Use a banana with brown spots; it has the highest sugar content and aroma.
2
✓
If you have fresh fruit, toss in the ice as well. If the blueberries are frozen, ice can be omitted.
Tip: The cell walls of frozen fruit break down during freezing, giving a creamier, ice-cream-like texture when blended.
3
✓
Blend on maximum speed for 30-60 seconds until you have a completely smooth, purple cream.
Tip: A good smoothie is homogenous: no pieces of skin floating in it.
4
✓
Taste, and sweeten with more honey if necessary. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Tip: You can garnish with a few reserved blueberries on top.
