For 2 servings

What you’ll need

100 g fresh blueberries, washed
1 ripe banana (120 g peeled)
200 g plain unsweetened yogurt
2–4 tablespoons milk or water, as needed

Allergens
Milk. Plant-based yogurt or drinks may contain soy or nuts; check labels.

One step at a time

Let’s make it

Put the blueberries, peeled banana and yogurt in a blender.
Blend until smooth, adding milk or water a tablespoon at a time to get your preferred thickness.
Check for unblended pieces and blend again if needed. Pour into two small bowls and serve immediately.

Preparation and cooking times are estimates. Use the doneness checks in the method.

Make the texture work

Allow the bowl to stand briefly if cold foods are uncomfortable. Blueberry skins may leave tiny flecks; strain if a completely uniform texture is preferred.

Season it properly

Taste before adding salt. Keep pepper, chilli and strong sauces as optional adult table add-ons.

Simple swaps

Use ripe mango instead of blueberries for a different colour and flavour. Introduce that change openly. If using frozen berries, follow any cooking instructions on the pack and cool before blending.

Keep it safely

Refrigerate immediately and consume within 24 hours. Stir before serving. Discard portions that have been eaten from.
