Texture tips
- For a thicker bowl: Use frozen berries and well-chilled Greek yoghurt so the mixture stays spoonable rather than drinkable.
- Keep the crunch: Add the granola and almonds just before serving so they stay crisp.
Ingredient notes
- Use a ripe banana: A very ripe banana blends smoothly and adds natural sweetness to the base.
- Fresh or frozen berries: Frozen berries make a colder, thicker bowl, while fresh berries give a softer, lighter texture.
Make-ahead tips
- Prepare the base ahead: The blended fruit and yoghurt base can be kept covered in the fridge for up to 1 day, then stirred before serving.
- Store toppings separately: Keep the granola and almonds separate until the last moment to preserve their texture.
Equipment you'll need
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add the banana, mixed berries and Greek yoghurt to a blender. Blend until very smooth, thick and scoopable, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Spoon the smoothie mixture into 2 bowls and smooth the tops. Divide the granola over each bowl, then scatter over the almonds.
- Drizzle with the honey and serve straight away while cold and crunchy.
Recipe notes
Tips
- For the thickest texture, use frozen mixed berries and keep the Greek yoghurt well chilled before blending.
- If your blender struggles, pulse first, then blend on high, stopping to scrape down so the mixture stays thick rather than needing extra liquid.
Substitutions
- Replace Honey with Maple syrup for a different, caramel-like sweetness.
- Replace Almonds with Walnuts for a deeper, nutty flavour.
Storage
- Refrigerate up to 1 days
- Best eaten immediately. If needed, keep the blended base covered in the fridge for up to 1 day; stir well before serving and add the granola and almonds at the last moment to keep them crisp.
