How do I make a raspberry smoothie?

Start by adding the liquid ingredients to the blender first. The almond milk and yogurt will help the viscosity of the blades work through the almonds and frozen raspberries.
Next, add the frozen raspberries, almonds, chia seeds and sweetener to the blender.
Blend for 30-45 seconds on medium-high speed or until the ingredients are fully blended and creamy.
Pour into a glass and enjoy right away. Top with extra raspberries and chopped almonds if you would like.

Ingredient substitutions and recommendations for making this raspberry smoothie recipe:

Yogurt – I specifically chose plain Greek yogurt (I buy Fage, either 2% or 5%). Plain Greek yogurt is a great source of protein and calcium, and has no added/refined sugar. If you need to substitute a non-dairy yogurt, there are some great plant-based options on the market. You can also use regular plain yogurt. If you want to use flavored yogurt (vanilla or fruit-flavored) be sure to read the labels and watch the sugar content.
Raspberries – Most grocery stores carry frozen raspberries in the frozen foods section all year round. If they are in season and available, feel free to substitute fresh raspberries. You’ll need to add 1 heaping cup of ice to the smoothie when using fresh berries.
Sweeteners – there are a few sweeteners I recommend. For this recipe I chose a liquid sweetener, Vanilla Cream Stevia Sweet Drops. You can also use granular sweeteners, like Lakanto or Whole Earth Monk Fruit Sweeteners. You can also use 1 tsp. of honey or maple syrup. Note that honey or maple syrup will increase the calorie content of the smoothie.

Can I make this raspberry smoothie into a smoothie bowl?

Yes. Simply make the smoothie according to the recipe instructions (below) and pour into a bowl. Top with additional chopped almonds, chia seeds and fresh raspberries. Eat with a spoon and enjoy right away while cold.

What can I add to a raspberry almond smoothie for extra protein?

I recommend adding 1-2 scoops of vanilla protein powder or your preferred collagen powder to add protein.

We use Orgain Organic Vanilla Protein Powder as it has quality ingredients and zero grams of added sugar. I also use and prefer Zhou Nutrition Collagen Peptides. This can be added to smoothies, overnight oats and coffee.

How do I meal prep a smoothie?

For the yogurt & sweetener, stir together and then spoon into an ice-cube tray and freeze. Two tablespoons will typically fit into a standard cube. I would place 5 frozen yogurt & honey cubes into a bag.
Add the raspberries, almonds and chia seeds into the bag as well.
Leave the milk out (unfrozen), as you will need it to be in liquid form for blending. You may need to add extra milk, as the extra frozen ingredients will make the smoothie very thick.
