Mixed Berry Vegan Yoghurt Smoothie Recipe

This Mixed Berry Yoghurt Smoothie (The Simple Veganista) is a wonderful way to start your day. You literally only need a few ingredients.

A room-temperature banana (no need to freeze like most smoothies), some plain or vanilla plant yoghurt, your favourite non-dairy milk and optional toppings like a dollop of nut butter for protein. Just whizz it all up and you’re ready to go.

If you fancy something more substantial, try this blogger’s chocolate almond smoothie bowl. Smoothie bowls are basically thicker so you eat them with a spoon.

This one is made with protein-rich nut butter along with chilled plant milk and frozen bananas. Always slice your bananas before freezing. Keep cocoa powder away from pets.

One comedian says the main brand of smoothies in supermarkets has a cheek to call themselves innocent! The prices charge for what is essentially blended fruit are astronomical.

And the company is now owned by a big American corporation. He says the cheapest way to make a banana smoothie, is simply to put a banana in your mouth – then swish your head around to blend it!

Invest in a Good Blender

If you enjoy making smoothies, it’s worth investing in a good blender (it doesn’t have to be very expensive, just one with a glass jug and good motor that does not burn out, and is easy to clean).

It’s UK law that if you buy a new electrical appliance, the shop you buy from must take back the old appliance. So if you have dusty old broken blender in your cupboard (or anything else you don’t use like a chip fat fryer), take it back for a simple swap!
