Ingredients

Fruits

  • 9.5 oz raspberries (2 cups, frozen)
  • 7 oz banana (1 medium-sized, chopped)

Dairy & Milk

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup almond milk

Flavorings & Sweeteners

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp honey (or other neutral sweetener)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out all the ingredients including the frozen raspberries, peeled and chopped banana, plain yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey.
  2. Combine Milk and Fruits: Pour the almond milk into the blender jug first, then add the frozen raspberries and chopped banana on top. This layering helps the blender work more efficiently.
  3. Add Sweetener and Flavor: Add the honey and vanilla extract to the blender to enhance the smoothie’s natural sweetness and aroma.
  4. Add Yogurt and Blend: Add the plain yogurt finally to the blender. Secure the lid and blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Continue blending to reach your preferred consistency.
  5. Serve: Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate briefly if preferred chilled.

Notes

  • Use frozen raspberries to create a thick, chilled smoothie without needing ice cubes.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • You can swap almond milk for any other milk type based on your dietary preference (dairy, soy, oat, etc.).
  • For a thicker smoothie, use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the quantity of honey or sweetener according to taste.
