Raspberry Smoothie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This simple and healthy Raspberry Smoothie is bursting with berry flavor with hints of tropical mango and banana.

Three raspberry smoothies with coconut cream.

This Raspberry Smoothie is the perfect mix of tangy and bright raspberries paired with sweet mango and banana. The resulting smoothie is raspberry forward without being too sour. Perfectly balanced and ready for sipping!

Reasons to love this recipe:

  • The bright tartness is perfectly balanced with mangos and banana.
  • It's a quick and easy snack or breakfast!
  • This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten free, and paleo.

Ingredients and substitutions:

  • Raspberries - you can use fresh, but I always reach for frozen. They are typically cheaper and make the smoothie extra thick and creamy.
  • Frozen mango - adds tropical flavor and sweetness that compliments the raspberries well.
  • Banana - previously peeled and frozen. Adds richness, creaminess, and sweetness. For a low sugar version, you can use frozen cauliflower.
  • Milk - I like oat, soy or almond milk, but any milk of choice will work! For a twist, use orange, pineapple, or apple juice instead of milk.

How to make the best Raspberry Smoothie:

Blend: Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Use the tamper or scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything blends evenly.

Serve: Top, if desired, and enjoy!

  • Banana, raspberries, mangoes and milk in a blender.
  • A blended raspberry smoothie in the blender carafe.

Storage:

Smoothies are best when consumed immediately, though it will keep in the fridge overnight.

For longer storage, consider making a freezer smoothie pack and tossing it in the freezer. Mornings just got even easier!

Optional Add-Ins:

I include a basic recipe below, but you can really jazz up your smoothie with some add-ins. You can add any of the following in at the end, once the smoothie is smooth.

  • A handful of spinach or other greens – this is one you would want to add at the beginning before blending the smoothie.
  • 2 tablespoons nut or seed butter
  • 1-2 scoops protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Superfood powders – greens powder, mushroom powder, adaptogens, etc.
  • ½ cup yogurt – regular, greek, or dairy free

Smoothie Toppings 101

Sometime I love this smoothie as is, and other times, I like to jazz it up with some toppings for texture and flavor. Here are ideas, but the sky’s the limit. In the photos, I drizzled on some coconut cream and topped with frozen raspberries.

  • Granola – any flavor is great! I especially love vanilla or peanut butter.
  • Fresh fruit: sliced banana, berries, kiwi, mango, etc.
  • Frozen fruit: frozen berries are great!
  • Freeze dried fruit: a new find for me, freeze dried fruit adds amazing crunch to smoothie bowls! Freeze dried berries, banana, pineapple, and mango, are favorites. I usually purchase them at Trader Joe’s or online.
  • Nuts: almonds, walnuts, coconut, toasted coconut…
  • Nut butters: peanut butter is almost always a must for me! Almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter, etc. are all great!
  • Seeds: chia seeds or hemp seeds.
  • Chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
  • A drizzle of honey or agave.
