Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for garnish and added nutrition)
- 3 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and place them on your kitchen counter for easy access.
In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen raspberries, almond milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, almond butter, ripe banana, and ice cubes.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add the honey to the blender as well.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a small drizzle of honey and blending again briefly.
Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses.
If desired, sprinkle chia seeds on top of each glass for an extra nutritional boost and a slight crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Packs a Punch Raspberry Almond Smoothie!
