Smoothies make such a quick and easy breakfast. I love it when I can whizz up some fruit with yoghurt, milk or almond milk and be ready to go. It’s a great way of getting an extra portion of fruit in as well. This blackcurrant and blueberry smoothie is a tasty one to start the day.
At the moment it is the summer holidays and children across the land are at home. Grabbing a quick smoothie in the morning sets you up for the day with a portion of fruit already in there. My kids enjoy making smoothies too, so you can make a mini activity out of it.
You might be surprised to see a smoothie recipe on this blog, seeing as I often post recipes for cakes and slow cooker bakes. Well it is summer after all and a girl can’t live on cake alone (sadly)! Summer fruits are just so plentiful right now, I usually have a pack of blueberries at least in the fridge, as well as some natural or Greek yoghurt, and why not use them in a smoothie for a change. In the summer too it is time to make healthier choices and a smoothie is a good breakfast choice to make, whether you have it on the side with a larger meal to start the day or on its own.

Beautiful combination. I love blueberries but sadly never get a chance to eat any as the little one scoffs them all before I have even popped them in the fridge!
We are having a lot of smoothies at the moment and a blueberry smoothie is a favourite of ours. I will have to throw in some blackberries next time too.
Blueberry and banana is my favourite smoothie with all sorts of healthy seeds etc. I am not a fan of blackcurrants but I think that is an American thing!
