Elsa Petersen-Schepelern's 5 summer smoothies

Serves 1

1 punnet blueberries, about 200g, chilled
2 scoops ice-cream, chocolate or vanilla
low-fat milk, chilled

1. Reserve a few blueberries to serve, then put the remainder into a blender.
2. Add 1 scoop chocolate ice-cream and 125ml milk, or enough to make the blades run. Blend to a purée, then add extra milk to taste (the less you add, the thicker the smoothie will be).
3. Pour the mixture into a glass and top with the reserved blueberries.
