- 175g blueberries
- 1 small banana, sliced
- 1 tbsp natural or Greek yogurt
- 100ml apple juice, chilled
- 3–4 mint leaves (optional), plus extra to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather fresh blueberries, a small sliced banana, natural or Greek yogurt, chilled apple juice, and mint leaves if using.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the blueberries, sliced banana, yogurt, apple juice, and mint leaves (optional) into a blender. Blitz until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of water to reach desired consistency.

Notes
- You can substitute apple juice with orange juice or any preferred fruit juice.
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier smoothie or natural yogurt for a lighter texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired, though the banana and apple juice usually provide enough natural sweetness.
- Mint leaves are optional but add a refreshing twist.
- For a colder smoothie, use frozen blueberries or add ice cubes before blending.
