Drink up all the fruit goodness in one sitting with this Carob Blueberry Banana Smoothie. A super simple yet amazingly delicious and satisfying carob smoothie. No drama, just pure flavor and nutrition. Wild Canadian blueberries star in this healthy treat, along with potassium and fiber-rich banana. It’s naturally sweetened and absolutely versatile because we’re using carob powder as natural sweetener. But wait, there’s more! Homemade Carob Hazelnut Spread lends this carob smoothie a special, tasty direction.
We discovered that using two tablespoons of our homemade carob hazelnut spread hits the right spot in terms of overall profile. However, this recipe can be forgiving! You can add as much as you like. Or even personalize it by mixing in additional toppings such as carob chips, slices of homemade fruit and nut bar, or even poppy seeds. If you don’t have “carob notella” on hand, please feel free to use roasted hazelnuts. That should work fine for this smoothie recipe. However, just please note that there will be a slight difference in the final outcome.
What Carob Powder To Use
The appearance and sweetness of this carob smoothie will depend on the type of carob powder that you use. Roasted carob powder tends to have a sweeter and darker in color profile. Raw carob powder lends a delicately sweet and slightly less dark in color profile. Whichever you decide to choose, just know that both taste amazingly good!
Wild Canadian Blueberries
We used wild Canadian blueberries because they’re known for their pleasant sweetness. Fresh or frozen, these berries are excellent for making smoothies. The proportions we listed are simply a guideline that will offer a visually-appealing creamy appearance. However, indulge or lessen the ingredients based on your preference.
