Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium-sized banana (peeled and sliced)
Dairy & Milk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
Sweeteners & Extras
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture, as needed)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and equipment needed for the smoothie to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- Prepare Raspberries: If using fresh raspberries, rinse them gently under cool water to clean. If using frozen raspberries, no thawing is necessary as they blend well frozen.
- Prepare Banana: Peel the banana and slice it to make it easier to blend smoothly.
- Add to Blender: Place raspberries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey into the blender.
- Add Ice Cubes: For a thicker and colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes as desired.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more honey if needed for extra sweetness, then blend briefly again to mix.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen raspberries if fresh ones are out of season; they add a nice chilled texture.
- Substitute almond milk with any milk alternative like soy, oat, or dairy milk based on preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust the amount of honey depending on desired sweetness or omit for a lower calorie version.
- Ice cubes can be replaced with frozen banana slices for a creamier texture without diluting the flavor.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, shaken well before drinking.
