Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non‑dairy such as almond, oat, or coconut)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt (for creaminess and protein)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- ½ cup ice cubes (optional, especially if using fresh fruit and you want a chilled texture)
Instructions
- Add strawberries, banana, milk, and yogurt to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy; if you used fresh fruit and want it colder, add the ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste the smoothie and add the honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter, then blend briefly to incorporate.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately—alternatively, you can refrigerate it in a sealed jar for up to 1 day.
Notes
- You can toss in a handful of spinach or kale for a greens boost (flavor‑friendly when paired with banana and raspberries).
- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and healthy fats.
- For a thicker smoothie bowl version, use frozen banana slices and less milk, then pour into a bowl and top with granola, nuts, or fresh fruit.
