Blueberry, Banana and Granola Smoothie

Everybody needs this blueberry, banana and granola smoothie for breakfast.

Have you had a smoothie with a little bit of a crunch before?

This smoothie has just that and it’s from granola.

The texture of this smoothie kind of reminds me of a milkshake made with chocolate chip ice cream or other ice cream that has a crunch to it.

And the blueberries not only taste good, but they also give the smoothie a vibrant purple color.

The coconut milk and banana in this recipe gives it a wonderful rich flavor.

About the Order of Ingredients

Although this smoothie tastes wonderful when the ingredients are added to the blender in a random order*…

…A rule of thumb is to add the liquids and soft ingredients in the blender first, and then the harder ingredients last.

So, for example to the blender jar,

• First, add liquids such as juice, water or milk
• Second, add soft ingredients like yogurt, fresh (unfrozen) cut fruit and berries, or honey
• Then add items such as frozen cut fruit and berries, vegetables or nuts
• Lastly add the ice

When blending a smoothie, to avoid an air pocket from forming by the blade in the blender jar, there needs to be a good balance between the liquid and frozen ingredients (including ice).

* In the pictures below, the ingredients are added to the blender in a random order.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey, blueberries (fresh or frozen), banana, granola, and ice
