Ingredient Notes

- Milk: Milk is rich in protein and calcium. Instead of cow’s milk, you can also use non-dairy options like hemp milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
- Unsweetened plain yogurt: Also high in protein and calcium, yogurt acts as a thickener in this smoothie. Plain Greek yogurt can also be used but it will make the smoothie thicker.
- Vanilla protein powder: Vanilla protein powder makes this smoothie more filling and thick. Unflavored protein powder can also be used.
- Frozen raspberries: Slightly sweet and tart, frozen raspberries give the drink its natural pink color and high antioxidant content. Avoid using fresh raspberries, which will make the drink too watery and thin. By using the frozen berries, you can make a thick and cold smoothie without the need for ice.

Variations
Seeds: For extra thickness and nutrients, add 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, chia seeds, or flax seeds to the recipe. Seeds are high in good fats and plant-based protein.
Nut butters: Nut butters are delicious with many fruits, including raspberries. Try adding 1-2 tablespoons of cashew butter, peanut butter, or hazelnut butter to this smoothie. These ingredients will add healthy fats and vitamins to your drink.
Leafy greens: Baby spinach and kale are nutritious smoothie add-ins. They’re packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. You’ll need about 1 cup per smoothie. Note that leafy greens and berries can sometimes look brown when blended together, but the combination will still be delicious.
Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Put milk into the blender. Add protein powder and yogurt.
The liquid is always the first ingredient.

Step 2: Add frozen raspberries.

Step 3: Blend until smooth. Start on a low speed, then increase to high.

Step 4: Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.
Blender Tips
Load ingredients correctly to avoid air pockets.
To ensure a smooth texture, it’s important to put ingredients in the blender in a certain order. Start with liquids, then add any powders, nut butters, or seeds. Follow with fresh fruit or vegetables and end with heavy ingredients, such as ice or frozen fruit.
Gradually increase the speed.
When making any smoothie, start on low speed then quickly increase to high. This will protect the motor of your blender so it doesn’t overheat.
Use the tamper.
Your blender likely came with a tool called a tamper. This is helpful for pushing ingredients toward the blades. As long as the blender’s lid is on, the tamper won’t touch the blades.
Expert Tips
- If you’re freezing your own raspberries, be sure to wash them first. Throw away any mushy or discolored pieces.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a Medjool date or 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or date syrup.
- Add a bit of milk and blend for 10 seconds if the smoothie is too thick for you.
- To store leftover smoothie, keep it in an air-tight glass jar in the refrigerator 1-2 days. The ingredients might separate over time, so be sure to mix it before drinking.
