Blueberries, Oil on linen, 36 x 36cm

Y is for Yaban Mersini, Turkish for blueberry. I always love fresh fruit, but frozen berries are so versatile! (Although I would love someone in the industry to find a non-plastic package for them)

After yesterday’s adult beverage, here’s a drink perfect for children shared by Adele who turned 8 this year. Thank you for sharing Adele!

Blueberry smoothie

Ingredients

Frozen bananas

Frozen blueberries, or other frozen berries of your choice

Milk

Cacao powder

Method

Peel and cut 2 bananas into chunks and freeze overnight.

Blitz bananas and berries together, add milk and cacao powder to taste until a thick drinking consistency is achieved. Adele advises drink with a large reusable straw.

If you would like a soft fruit ice-cream, Jeremy recommends using just the frozen bananas and berries blitzed together. Serve immediately.
