Raspberry Smoothie
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Make this raspberry smoothie in just 5 minutes. Peel the banana and slice it into rounds - this helps it blend more easily and does not overload the blender motor. Place the raspberries and banana slices together into the blender jar. Using frozen raspberries will make the drink colder and thicker without needing ice.
Blending and serving
- 2
Add the Greek yogurt and milk to the blender. The yogurt gives the drink a creamy texture and provides protein that makes the breakfast genuinely filling and keeps hunger at bay for longer. The milk helps thin the thick fruit puree into an easy-drinking consistency. Blend everything on high speed for about 60 seconds until you get a completely smooth, creamy drink with no fruit chunks or seeds.

Taste the blended mixture and decide whether it needs sweetening. Raspberries vary in natural tartness, so the level of sweetness you need depends on the fruit. If you want a sweeter result, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey and run the blender again for 10-15 seconds. The honey dissolves completely and mixes in evenly, adding a gentle floral sweetness without any cooked sugar flavor.

Pour the finished drink immediately into tall chilled glasses. The drink is best enjoyed freshly made while it is still cold and frothy. If you prepare it ahead, cover it tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours - give it a quick stir or shake before drinking as the ingredients may settle.
More tips:
Use frozen raspberries if you want a thicker, colder smoothie without adding ice.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk bit by bit and blend again.
