Easy Raspberry Smoothie
Description
The Easy Raspberry Smoothie uses ripe bananas and frozen raspberries blended with plant-based milk to yield a smooth, fruit-forward drink. The natural creaminess of the bananas counters the tartness of the raspberries, creating balance. Lime juice brightens the flavor and can be enhanced with lime zest. The method requires simply blending all ingredients until smooth.
The smoothie is best served immediately for freshness and coldness, making it suitable as a breakfast or snack. The plant-based milk ensures it is dairy-free, appealing to those avoiding dairy. Adding vegan vanilla protein powder can increase nutrition but is optional.
Adjusting the amount of plant-based milk or adding ice or oats helps customize the smoothie consistency to either thinner or thicker preferences. For easier blending, place liquids and softer ingredients near the blender blades first. Taste and sweeten as desired depending on raspberry tartness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plant-based milk
- 2 banana room-temperature
- 1 raspberry frozen, 10-ounce bag
- lime juice of half + zest for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In the cup of a blender, add the plant-based milk, bananas, frozen raspberries, and the juice of ½ a lime (optional). Blend on the highest setting for 1 minute.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, add more plant-based milk; for thicker, reduce milk or add ice, oats, or all frozen fruit.
- Add vegan vanilla protein powder for extra nutrition if desired.
- For smooth blending, add liquids and soft ingredients closest to blender blades first, then frozen fruits; pause and scrape sides as needed.
- Taste and sweeten to preference, as raspberry tartness varies.
