Tropical Raspberry Glow Smoothie
This recipe makes one large or two small servings. It is naturally sweet, creamy, and packed with antioxidants.
Ingredients
1 cup Frozen Raspberries: Gives that beautiful pink color and a tart kick.
1/2 cup Mango Cubes: Provides a tropical sweetness and silky texture.
1 medium Banana: Best if sliced and frozen for a thicker, “milkshake” consistency.
1 cup Liquid Base: You can use almond milk, coconut water, or oat milk.
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (Optional): Add this if you want extra protein and a creamier finish.
Fresh Mint: For garnish (as seen in your photo).
Instructions
Layer the Ingredients: Add your liquid base to the blender first. This helps the blades move freely and prevents the frozen fruit from getting stuck.
Add the Fruit: Add the frozen raspberries, mango cubes, and banana.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until completely smooth.
Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid. If you prefer it thicker (like a smoothie bowl), add a few more ice cubes or frozen fruit pieces.
Serve: Pour into a chilled glass. Top with a sprig of fresh mint and use a glass straw to match your picture!
Quick Tips for the Best Result
Use Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit instead of ice ensures the flavor stays concentrated and the texture remains frosty.
Sweetness: If your berries are a bit tart, you can add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
Storage: This is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours (just give it a good shake before drinking).
