Why I Love This Raspberry Smoothie
- Actually filling: Thanks to the Greek yogurt, this smoothie has enough protein to keep you satisfied, not hungry again 20 minutes later.
- Fresh and vibrant: Raspberries bring a bold, tart flavor along with fiber and antioxidants and give this smoothie that beautiful bright pink color.
- Thick and creamy: Using frozen fruit creates a rich, silky texture without having to water it down with a bunch of ice.
Ingredients Needed
- frozen raspberries – what gives this smoothie its delightful tartness and rich source of dietary fiber and antioxidants.
- frozen banana – this helps to thicken and make this smoothie nice and creamy. It also helps to balance the tartness of the raspberries nicely.
- plain Greek yogurt – adds creaminess and some protein. My go-to is plain full-fat whole milk Greek yogurt to get the most protein, but 2% or non-fat will also work.
- unsweetened almond milk – I prefer unsweetened almond milk because it’s low in calories and sugar, but any milk or even water will work.

How to Make
This raspberry smoothie recipe is so easy to whip up! Just add your frozen raspberries, frozen banana, yogurt and almond milk to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
Taste and adjust as needed adding a few drops of stevia or another natural sweetener, if desired or ice cubes if you want a thicker smoothie. Blend again until smooth.
Pour your raspberry smoothie into a glass, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves, and enjoy!
Quick Tips for the Best Smoothie
- Use frozen raspberries: For a thicker, colder smoothie without needing ice. If using fresh berries, add a handful of ice to chill and thicken it up.
- Taste before serving: Raspberries can vary in tartness, so give it a quick taste and add a little honey, maple syrup, or a medjool date if it’s too tangy.
- Blend in stages: If you don’t have a high-powered blender. Add the liquid and fruit first, then blend in any extras like seeds or protein powder to get the smoothest texture.
- Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays: And re-blend later with a splash of milk for a super quick smoothie.
