Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 banana (sliced)
  • 1 ½ cups frozen raspberries

Instructions

  • Put unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, banana, and frozen raspberries into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
  • Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Instead of unsweetened almond milk, feel free to use other plant-based milks such as soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. You can also use dairy milk.
  • Add a splash of milk and blend for 10 seconds if the smoothie is too thick.
  • Always use ripe banana, which is naturally sweet. Unripe bananas are more bitter and won't taste good in the drink. You can tell if a banana is unripe if the peel is still green.
  • For a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey. You can also add a pitted Medjool date.
  • If you want to freeze fresh raspberries, avoid using any that are mushy or discolored. The raspberries should be plump and brightly colored. Be sure to remove any stems too.
  • Smoothies taste best when enjoyed within 24 hours. If you need to store leftovers, keep them in an airtight glass jar for up to 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
