A LITTLE KITCHEN BACKSTORY

Let’s make something lovely.

Blueberries bring both color and a pleasantly tangy edge to this quick drink. A few reserved berries recreate the simple garnish visible in the photograph.

Plain yogurt gives the smoothie body while milk keeps it easy to pour. This version keeps the berry flavor clear without adding banana.

APRON OPTIONAL. APPETITE ENCOURAGED.

THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Before the happy first bite.

Cold ingredients make a refreshing smoothie without diluting it with ice.

Blend a little longer if you prefer fewer visible pieces of blueberry skin.

For a thicker drink, chill the rinsed berries in the freezer for 30 minutes before blending.

Save some for later

Transfer promptly to a covered container and refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or colder for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving; the best color and texture are immediately after blending.

A few kitchen questions.

Can I use regular yogurt?

Can I leave out the maple syrup?

Why does it separate after standing?
