Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g frozen blueberries
- 170 g whole milk yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
- 120 ml milk (whole, almond, or oat)
- 60 ml maple syrup (divided)
- 45 g tahini
- 15 ml hot water
- 2.5 ml vanilla extract
- 1.25 ml sea salt
- fresh blueberries (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Tahini Swirl: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons tahini, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon hot water, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Whisk vigorously until smooth and thin enough for drizzling; add more water if needed.
- Blend Smoothie Base: In a high-speed blender, combine frozen blueberries, yogurt, milk, remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour and Swirl: Pour the smoothie into two tumblers. Spoon half of the tahini mixture over the surface and gently swirl with a utensil handle to create patterns.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle remaining tahini mixture on top and add fresh blueberries if desired. Serve immediately to maintain texture.
Notes
To achieve the thickest, creamiest texture, use high-quality frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones. Adjust the amount of milk based on your desired consistency; it is easier to thin out the smoothie than to thicken it. For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
