Chef Tips

- Freeze the red fruits the night before to obtain a dense and icy consistency without diluting the flavor with excess ice. - Wash the strawberries keeping the green leaves and only remove the stems after sanitization so as not to absorb water. - Blend the fruits with the yogurt first before pouring in the milk to control the fluidity and thickness in the glass.

Variations

- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or golden flaxseeds before blending to increase the fiber load. - Finish the smoothie by sprinkling crunchy sugar-free granola and 100% cocoa nibs over the glass when serving. - Add half a scoop of plant-based protein or vanilla whey protein to turn the drink into a post-workout shake.

Substitutions

- Traditional plain yogurt can be substituted with nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh curd, or coconut-based yogurt. - Plant-based milk can be replaced with chilled mineral water, fresh coconut water, or skim cow's milk. - Honey can be replaced with coconut nectar, cane molasses, or a natural xylitol-based sweetener.

How to Store

The smoothie should be consumed soon after preparation so that the fruit seeds do not make the drink bitter. If necessary, store in an airtight bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake vigorously before drinking.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze the ready-blended smoothie, as the yogurt and fruits suffer emulsion destabilization. Keep the portions of red fruits and sliced bananas frozen in the freezer for up to 3 months ready to blend.

What to Serve With

Pairs well with whole grain oat pancakes, sourdough toast with Minas cheese, or poached eggs. It also serves as an invigorating afternoon snack for hot spring and summer days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to strain the smoothie after blending in the blender?

It is not necessary to strain; raspberry and blackberry seeds are rich in fiber and grind well at high blender speed.

Can I use store-bought frozen red fruit pulps?

Yes, use two 100g packs of frozen red fruit pulp without added preservatives or sugars.

How to sweeten the smoothie without using refined sugar?

Use a very ripe banana with a black-spotted peel and add the spoonful of honey or two pitted dried dates.

Which plant-based milk goes best with red fruits?

Almond milk or neutral oat milk harmonize perfectly without overpowering the striking perfume of the red fruits.
