Inspired after reading the soup and cream corn F52 entries, I thought, why not a refreshing smoothie. The taste of sweet corn with a blend of tropical fruits makes a perfect breakfast or pick me up any other time of day. Hmmm, I am thinking a little Coconut Rum might add a special touch, although I’ve not tried that, yet! —lapadia

Ingredients
-
Note, I used a full fat yogurt and coconut milk
-
2-1/2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels (3 medium cobs)
-
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
-
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
-
3/4 cup honey flavor Greek yogurt

1/2 cup coconut milk

1 cup chunks of pineapple
-
1 cup chunks of mango
-
1 small banana
-
3 tablespoons honey - plus more, if needed after testing for sweetness
-
2 cups ice
Directions
-
Shave off the corn kernels - position the cob on the end of a bowl and run a knife down the sides to get all the kernels and its juice.
-
Add the vanilla bean - split lengthwise and with the tip of a knife scrape the seeds from the bean into the bowl. Add grated ginger. Place into a blender.
-
Add the honey, coconut milk, pineapple, mango, banana and honey. Blend till smooth. Taste for sweetness and add more honey, if needed.
-
Add ice cubes and blend.

Serve in a chilled glass - optional, grate a little fresh nutmeg over the top.
