About this recipe
Purple Power Smoothie Thermomix TM7 is the kind of quick breakfast that looks as good as it tastes. This healthy smoothie recipe brings together frozen blueberries, a ripe banana, a juicy clementine and a generous splash of kefir, creating a creamy purple drink in minutes. The secret ingredient is fresh parsley: on its own it sounds unusual, but blended with lemon and honey it adds a fresh, green note that balances the sweetness of the fruit beautifully. Hemp seeds are ground to a fine powder first, so they dissolve completely and add a soft, nutty undertone without any grainy bits. The all-in-one kitchen machine handles everything in a single mixing bowl, which means less washing up on busy mornings. Serve it in a tall glass for a nutritious start to the day, as an after-school snack for the kids, or as a post-workout refuel. With ice cubes blended straight in, every sip is cold, thick and silky.
Preparation tips
- Peel the clementine and banana completely and break the banana into chunks before adding, as large pieces struggle to blend evenly with the frozen blueberries. Drop the banana pieces into the mixing bowl last so they sit on top of the hemp seed powder.
- Rinse the parsley thoroughly and pat it dry with kitchen paper, then remove any thick stalks. Tender leaves only ensure the smoothie gets a fresh green flavour without stringy fibres getting caught around the blades during blending.
- For a thicker, spoonable consistency, freeze the banana chunks the night before and reduce the water slightly. Serve immediately in chilled glasses, since the ice melts quickly and the kefir separates if the smoothie is left standing too long.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the kefir with a lactose-free drinking yoghurt or oat-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey. The blueberries and banana keep the flavour identical, so everyone at the table can enjoy the same purple breakfast.
- Winter festive variation: swap the clementine for blood orange and add a small pinch of ground cinnamon. The deep red citrus creates an even richer purple colour and turns this smoothie into a festive vitamin boost during the colder months.

Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Grinding the hemp seeds first, the TM7 turns them into a fine powder that dissolves invisibly into the smoothie without any grainy texture.
- Weighing the kefir, honey and water directly into the mixing bowl saves you separate jugs and delivers exact proportions for consistent flavour every morning.
- Mixing the frozen blueberries with banana and ice cubes, the Thermomix produces a velvety, lump-free smoothie far smoother than an ordinary blender achieves.
- Whipping air into the kefir mixture, the TM7 gives this purple drink a light, frothy texture that feels like a café-style smoothie at home.
- Chopping the parsley leaves into the fruit base, the Thermomix distributes the fresh green flavour evenly so no leafy bits float in your glass.
