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
A rule of thumb is that liquids and soft ingredients go in first, and the harder ingredients go in 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).
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Blueberries (fresh or frozen), banana, granola, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and ice
