    What are the benefits of eating raspberries?

    Healthy and creamy plant-based raspberry smoothie without yogurt.

    There are many reasons why raspberries are so good for you. These fresh edible fruits are low in sugar and low in calories.

    At the same time, they are full of anti-aging antioxidants and rich in plant fiber, vitamins, and minerals your body needs daily to function properly.

    Also, they are good for your gut health due to their high water and fiber content. They can help you maintain good digestion and prevent constipation as well. Additionally, these sweet-tart berries contain beneficial compounds which give them incredible anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

    Ingredients

    Wholesome real food ingredients for making raspberry smoothie recipe: fresh raspberries, banana, almond milk, agave syrup and lemon juice.

    You'll need a handful of simple ingredients you probably have on hand to make this cleansing raspberry smoothie recipe.

    • Raspberries (best if frozen but fresh work, too)
    • Banana (frozen, for an extra creamy texture and naturally sweet flavor)
    • Almond milk (I used homemade almond milk but you can substitute it with any non-dairy milk. Try to make your own cashew milk or oat milk, it's cheap and easy!
    • Agave syrup (or maple syrup, for extra sweetness, optional)
    • Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

    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.

    How to make a raspberry smoothie

    You need to follow two simple steps in order to make a good cold raspberry smoothie with a super thick and creamy texture:

    1. Combine. Place raspberries, banana, almond milk, lemon juice, and agave syrup (if using) in a high-speed blender.
    2. Blend. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness with agave or maple syrup. Serve immediately topped with crispy granola or fresh raspberries.

    Hint: This recipe works with fresh or frozen fruit. However, if you want your smoothie to be cold and thick I highly recommend you use frozen raspberries and/or frozen banana. Alternatively, you can add a handful of ice cubes to chill and thicken your smoothie.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • Use rolled (old-fashioned) oats to add some plant protein and make your morning drink more filling.
    • A handful of fresh spinach or kale will boost the nutritional value of your smoothie and strengthen your immune system.
    • Blend in a scoop of your favorite vegan-friendly protein powder or vegan Greek yogurt for a protein boost to make an amazing pre or post-workout recovery drink.
    • Add a few chunks of avocado for heart-healthy fats and silky velvet-like consistency.
    • Superseeds like chia seeds, flaxseed meal, or hemp seeds are always a great addition.
    • Instead of agave, you can use maple syrup or 1-2 dates to naturally sweeten your smoothie.
