Raspberry blueberry smoothie is one of my favorite ways to start the day—smoothies are my go-to morning routine, especially when I want something quick, nutritious, and satisfying.
I always keep frozen berries stocked in bulk so I can toss them into berry chia pudding, swirl them into frozen fruit overnight oats, or blend up a vibrant smoothie like this one whenever the craving hits.
This berry smoothie has the perfect sweet-tart balance and a naturally thick texture, even without banana, thanks to the frozen berries and a spoonful of chia seeds—no ice needed.
If you're into frozen fruit smoothies like I am, you’ve got to try my pineapple blueberry banana smoothie, pear blueberry smoothie, or this zingy raspberry pineapple smoothie—they’re just as easy and tasty!

Ingredients
- Raspberries and blueberries: I recommend using frozen berries to keep your smoothie naturally thick and cool without needing ice.
- Chia seeds: Chia seeds add fiber, healthy fats, and help thicken the smoothie even more.
- Maple syrup: I used maple syrup for sweetness, but feel free to swap it with your favorite sweetener like agave, date syrup, or stevia.
- Plant-based milk: I used unsweetened almond milk, but feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk like cashew milk, soy, or oat milk.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.

Variations
