Morphology

blueberry + yogurt

The meaning 'a type of yogurt that contains sweetened blueberries or blueberry jam' is directly and compositionally derived from 'blueberry' (the fruit) + 'yogurt' (a fermented milk product); there is no idiomatic shift. This kind of food noun compounding is common across languages and follows straightforward semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

The compound noun blueberry yogurt simply names yogurt made by stirring blueberry fruit or jam into yogurt. The image of berries mixed into creamy yogurt makes it easy to see why the phrase means 'a yogurt that contains sweetened blueberries' today.
