Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp food-safe edible glitter or edible luster dust in silver gold, or purple — available online or in baking supply stores
  • Optional: a few fresh blueberries and a light additional dusting of edible glitter on top to serve

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen blueberries and frozen banana to the blender first.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and honey.
  3. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and deeply purple.
  4. Pour into a tall clear glass — a clear glass is essential for showing the shimmer effect.
  5. Add the edible glitter or luster dust directly to the smoothie in the glass.
  6. Stir gently with a long spoon or straw using slow circular motions — the glitter will begin to shimmer and catch the light as it disperses.
  7. Do not blend the glitter in — adding it after pouring and stirring by hand gives the best visual effect.
  8. Top with a few fresh blueberries on the rim and an extra dusting of glitter over the top if using.
  9. Serve immediately in good natural light for maximum visual impact.

Notes

Food-safe edible glitter and luster dust are available online for around two to three dollars for a small jar that provides enough for many recipes. Make sure to specifically purchase edible glitter labelled as food-safe — decorative craft glitter is not the same thing and must never be consumed. Frozen blueberries and banana do all the flavour and protein work here at minimal cost, making the glitter the only premium ingredient. Silver or purple luster dust produces the most dramatic visual effect against the deep purple smoothie base.
