Blueberry Smoothie with Greek Yogurt and Honey

Written by Published on Updated on October 17, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hey all,

It is Smoothie Season, well at least for me it is. This Blueberry Smoothie is packed with fruits and yogurt…Most smoothies have at least one banana.  I don’t like bananas and so adding yogurt is a great alternative that is if you like yogurt.  This is my fourth smoothie, but I guess due to the mini heatwave we had last week there has been a shortage in fresh fruit.  People must have been eating lighter and definitely making smoothies.  The Fresh Fruit section in the supermarket was empty!! so, I made a left turn with the shopping cart and headed for the frozen fruit section. I was shocked to see that everything was gone, except for this little old package that was left on the shelf.  Of course, I grabbed the box and off I went. 

I bought my Smoothie machine about 10 years ago.  Yes, it is quite old and I am surprised that it has lasted this long.  But this morning I noticed that it was having a hard time trying to break down the fruit. 🙁  It kept making that noise..grrr and grrrr and grrrrrr.  And so I think the time has come to slowly part ways with my little helper and do a little research for a much newer but not so expensive machine.  Not that this one was expensive…If I remember correctly I bought it for about 25 euros. I did a little research this morning in between lessons and OMG!!  I found the prices to be way too expensive for my budget, so I have one option and that is to wait for the SALES. 🙂

Have a great day and week everyone!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Mmmmm fruity and yummy! I've not had a smoothie in ages. I wanted to get one of those Breville smoothie makers, the plastic type, quite cheap and they get good reviews. They're a lot more streamlined, lighter, easier to clean etc than the chunky hefty monster of a maker we've got (which is probably why it never gets used.. oops!) I hope you can find a good replacement that you're happy with. 10 years is an amazing time to have your current one. I love nanas. Sadly I can't eat them anymore (my stoma doesn't like them, grrr) but I had wondered about what it would be like mushed up in a smoothie. I do think nanas are an acquired taste though.xx
