This creamy and refreshing Raspberry Smoothie blends together raspberries, milk, banana, frozen yogurt, and honey for sweetness.
The best smoothies are thick, rich, and full of fruity flavor. Frozen yogurt and banana also make this raspberry smoothie rich and creamy!
I love an old-fashioned milkshake, but don’t often indulge because they aren’t exactly full of things that are good for you. This smoothie gives that cold, creamy luxury with the healthy benefits of fresh fruit.
Why This Recipe Works
- Banana and honey give the smoothie sweetness without adding sugar.
- Frozen vanilla yogurt adds creaminess and an extra layer of flavor
- Simple ingredients make this a quick and easy treat!
About Raspberries
Raspberries are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Choose raspberries that have a deep red color. Make sure they haven’t been crushed or battered. Always check for mold before purchasing your raspberries. You want nice brightly colored berries.
Always wash your berries before using them. Simply place your fruit in a colander and place it in a large bowl of cold water, bring it out and shake any excess water from them. Pat them dry.
