Creamy Raspberry Bliss Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large glass
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups Frozen Raspberries: Using frozen berries gives the smoothie that thick, chilled consistency seen in the photo.
-
1 cup Greek Yogurt (Plain or Vanilla): This provides the creamy base and a healthy dose of protein.
-
½ cup Milk of Choice: Dairy, almond, or oat milk all work perfectly to help the blades spin.
-
1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup: Since raspberries can be quite tart, a little natural sweetness balances the flavor.
-
½ tsp Vanilla Extract: Adds a subtle dessert-like aroma.
-
Optional: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.
Instructions
-
Layer the Liquids: Start by pouring your milk and honey into the blender. Adding liquids first prevents the frozen fruit from getting stuck at the bottom and ensures a smoother blend.
-
Add the Core Ingredients: Spoon in the Greek yogurt, followed by the frozen raspberries and vanilla extract.
-
Blend Until Silky: Pulse the blender a few times to break up the large frozen chunks, then switch to a high-speed setting. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely uniform and has that beautiful pink hue.
-
Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If you prefer it thicker, add a few more frozen berries or a couple of ice cubes.
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass immediately. Garnish with a few fresh raspberries on top or on the side, just like in the picture!
Pro Tip: If you want to skip the seeds, you can blend the raspberries with the milk first and press them through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the yogurt and blending again.
