If there is anything I’ve learned from this summer, it’s that grilling and/or roasting fruit is an excellent idea (I hope I’ve learned more than that this season, but you know, I’ll take what I can get). Grilled watermelon? Come to mama. Grilled peaches? Total treat-yo-self business. Roasted strawberries? Uh-huh times a trillion.
But I digress. Because what I’m really here to tell you today is that roasted blueberries are and forevermore shall be one of the tastiest things to come out of my kitchen — second only to roasted blueberry malted milkshakes, that is.
This is serious deliciousness, you guys. These milkshakes don’t mess around. First you roast up some blueberries just until they burst — which, by the way, have now mixed with the sugar in the oven and have transformed into a light syrup that will blow.your.mind. Then, you combine them with a cup or so of Yoplait’s new Greek Frozen Yogurt Blueberry (equally mind-blowing, as are their other flavors), milk and malted milk powder and with a few pulses of the blender, you have a milkshake of epic proportions.
Oh, and I did I mention this thing is healthy, too? Totally a good excuse to drink one or three of these in a day, as I may or may not have done (I did).
Of course, the blueberries play really nice with other fruits, so if you feel the need to add grilled peaches or roasted strawberries to the mix, I am all over that. Be sure to invite me over if you do, though, OK? Because I seem to be all out of milkshakes over here (might have something to do with the aforementioned drinking of several of these in one day, I don’t know).
Roasted fruit + Yoplait Greek Frozen Yogurt + malted milk powder + milk = A very good idea. Do it.

Blueberry Milkshake = Delicious.
I’m going to try one tonight. Thankyou.
These are the best color ever! Love the idea of malted blueberry goodness! You just know it!
This looks awesome! 🙂 Healthy and refreshing. Surely will try. The snaps are wonderful. The time and hard work put into this is remarkable. Many thanks for sharing.
Sara — Oh, thanks so much for stopping by! And yes, blueberries in dessert is a weakness of mine: I can’t stop eating them.
These look DELICIOUS! I’m just starting to like blueberries in desserts so I think these milkshakes would be a great way to add more blueberries to my diet!
I also just found your blog through a comment on the Curvy Carrot. I am in love with your blog. I want to make everything..
Rachel — Thank you, dear!
foodwanderings — Thank you! I didn’t realize the color would turn out so vibrant in these but it was a pleasant surprise. 🙂
