Haskap smoothies: combinations and recipes
Fresh or frozen haskap berries add vivid colour and a sweet-tart flavour to smoothies, bowls and frozen pops.
Can frozen berries go straight into the blender?
Yes. Frozen haskap berries help make a cold, thicker drink and generally do not need to be thawed first. Add liquid gradually and follow the complete recipe for quantities.
Four ways to build a smoothie
Fruit-forward
Combine haskap with Quebec strawberries, blueberries or apple, depending on the season.
Smoothie bowl
Use less liquid for a spoonable texture, then add oats, granola, seeds or fresh fruit.
Frozen pops
Pour a finished smoothie into moulds and freeze it for an easy warm-weather snack.
Three practical tips
- Start with less liquid, blend, then adjust the texture.
- Balance the berry’s tartness with banana, yogurt or the sweetener specified by the recipe.
- Serve promptly, or refrigerate according to the complete recipe’s directions.
