Blueberry & Banana Smoothie

"There's this cafe in West Hollywood, California called Kings Road Cafe. Everything on the menu is to die for, especially the Blueberry & Banana Smoothie. After weeks of paying $4 a pop every other day for this amazing piece of heaven, I was determined to figure out how to make it at home. I did it on the first run and just had to share it. ***Notes on the Banana*** I have tried this recipe with a near green banana as well as a perfectly yellow banana and have found that the flavor is so much better with a squishy, but not runny, over-ripe banana with lots of brown spots and bruises."

directions

  • In a blender, blend the orange juice and banana (using the "blend" or "smoothie" mode) until you get a consistent orange-banana juice.
  • With the blender still going, use the hole in the lid and slowly add the blueberries to the juice. Slow is important - if you go too fast, you get frozen-fruit suspended above the blades and have to stop the thing to shove all the fruit to the bottom so that the blades catch it.
  • You'll know when to stop blending when the smoothie has turned a beautiful shade of deep-purple and it has a thick, jamba-juice-smoothie-like consistency. If you have blueberry-banana juice, with a layer of gelatinous fruit on top, you've blended it for too long.
