  2. 2

    Pour into a glass and sprinkle granola on top just before serving.

Tips from the kitchen

  • Use a banana that's properly ripe with brown speckles. It blends smoother and means you won't be tempted to add anything sweet.
  • Keep the blueberries frozen straight from the freezer. They chill the whole thing and give it body, so don't let them thaw on the counter first.
  • Crack the egg into a small bowl before it goes in the blender. That way if you get a bit of shell, you catch it before it ends up in the glass.
  • Blitz it in short bursts rather than running the blender forever. You want it smooth, but over-blending just warms it up and the frozen berries lose their point.
  • Sprinkle the granola on right as you serve. Stir it in too early and it goes soft instead of giving you that bit of crunch on top.

Ways to vary it

  • Swap the apple juice for milk or oat milk if you want something creamier and less sweet.
  • Frozen raspberries or a handful of frozen strawberries work in place of the blueberries when you fancy a change.
  • A spoon of peanut butter blended in is a nice option if you want it to sit even heavier in the morning.

Storage & leftovers

Best drunk right away while it's cold and the granola is still crunchy. You can keep it covered in the fridge for a few hours, but give it a good shake or stir before drinking since it separates. I wouldn't freeze it, since blending the raw egg means you want to drink it fresh.

What to serve with it

A slice of toast or a boiled egg on the side rounds out the morning if the smoothie alone doesn't carry you to lunch.
