What to keep in mind.

- 1Freeze your raspberries beforehand for an extra thick, frosty texture without added ice.
- 2Use full-fat yogurt for a creamier smoothie that keeps you fuller longer.
- 3Chill your milk and yogurt before blending to keep the smoothie cold without diluting it.
- 4If using fresh raspberries, toss in a handful of ice cubes for a thicker consistency.
- 5Blend on low for a few seconds first to prevent ingredients from splashing up the sides.
- 6For a dairy-free version, swap the milk and yogurt with coconut or almond alternatives and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- 7Give the blender a quick rinse immediately after pouring to prevent berry seeds from sticking.
Adapt it for your goals.
Vegan
Replace yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup in place of honey for a fully vegan smoothie.
high proteinHigh-protein
Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder and use Greek yogurt instead of plain to boost the protein content for a muscle-recovery post-workout drink.
low sugarLow-sugar
Omit the honey entirely — ripe raspberries are naturally sweet, especially in season — and use unsweetened yogurt to reduce sugar without sacrificing flavor.
green boostGreen boost
Blend in a handful of fresh spinach or kale — the mild greens won't change the color or taste much but will add fiber, iron, and vitamins.
