We’re excited to share our new favorite: the Raspberry Blueberry Smoothie. By blending vitamin-rich raspberries with nutrient-packed blueberries, we’ve crafted a smoothie that’s both tasty and healthy. It’s perfect for busy mornings or a refreshing pick-me-up after a workout. Trust us, it’s an easy and delightful way to treat yourself without spending too much time prepping.

Berries: A power food

Let’s just dive straight into the recipe’s ingredients and go through what makes this smoothie tick;

• Raspberries and blueberries: These berries are a delightful duo in our smoothie - raspberries offer a tangy punch, while blueberries bring a gentle sweetness. They’re both rich in antioxidants, helping to fend off everyday stress on your body, and their fiber is great for digestion and heart health.

• Banana: Bananas do more than just add a creamy texture; they’re a quick source of energy and packed with potassium, which is essential for keeping your nerves and muscles working smoothly.

• Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt makes our smoothie wonderfully creamy and adds a nice dose of protein, important for muscle health. It’s also a great source of probiotics, which are good for your digestive system.

• Almond Milk: Almond milk keeps the smoothie light and brings in a mild nutty flavor. It’s great for those who prefer dairy-free options and adds a nice touch to the overall taste of the smoothie.

• Honey (Optional): A little honey can add some natural sweetness to the smoothie, but it’s completely optional. If you choose to include it, it enhances the flavor and brings its own health benefits to the mix.

Your smoothie, your twist

We often whip up this smoothie without adding any twists, but when we do add them, it’s a treat. Here are some ideas for your smoothie;

• Mint leaves: Adding a handful of fresh mint leaves can introduce a refreshing twist, ideal for those hot summer days.
• Frozen berries: Using frozen berries instead of fresh ones will result in a thicker, more ice-cream-like texture.
• Mixed greens: add a handful of spinach or kale for a nutrient boost.
• Protein punch: include a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

• Tropical twist: throw in some mango or pineapple chunks.
• Omega boost: sprinkle in some chia seeds or flaxseeds.
• Nutty delight: add a spoonful of almond or peanut butter.
• Creamy dream: swap Greek yogurt with coconut or soy yogurt for a different texture.
• Sweet surprise: a few dates or a splash of maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Top it off

Feeling extra fancy (or hungry)? Add a little more to your smoothies;

• Fresh berries: Why stop at just raspberries and blueberries inside the smoothie? Top it off with a generous handful of fresh raspberries, blueberries, or even strawberries to enhance the fruitiness. This can make your smoothie more filling while also adding a burst of color to the top.

• Crunchy granola: If you’re someone who loves a bit of texture in your smoothie, crunchy granola is the way to go. It offers a delightful contrast to the smoothie’s creaminess and adds an extra layer of taste with its subtle sweetness and toasted notes.

• Almond flakes: For those who adore a nutty twist, a sprinkle of almond flakes is perfect. They contribute a satisfying crunch and pack in a lot of flavors. Not to mention, almonds are a great source of healthy fats and add a nice aesthetic touch to your smoothie.

• Coconut flakes: Add a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a tropical twist. They bring a different texture and a mild exotic flavor, which goes well with the berries in the smoothie. Coconut flakes also offer a nice change if you’re looking to mix things up with your toppings.

• Chia seeds: For a nutrient-packed topping, sprinkle some chia seeds over your smoothie. They’re a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, making your already healthy smoothie even more beneficial. Plus, they add a pleasant little pop of texture.

• Mint leaves: Garnish your smoothie with a few fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finishing touch. They bring a refreshing note that balances the sweetness of the smoothie and adds a dash of green, making your drink look as fresh as it tastes.
