Avocado Raspberry Smoothie with Apple

Compared with the plain avocado and raspberry version, half an apple adds enough sweetness that no honey is needed. The texture stays silky and rich.

Avocado Raspberry Smoothie with Apple

Taste

Silky and creamy, with tangy raspberry, a fresh apple sweetness and a subtle buttery background.

About this smoothie

Here the avocado supplies creaminess and mostly unsaturated fat, which makes the drink more filling, while raspberries bring a bright, sharp fruit flavor and plenty of fiber. The red apple is the difference from the simpler version: it adds natural sweetness and juice, so the smoothie tastes rounder and fruitier.

The original recipe called for a whole avocado per glass; half is enough for a silky texture without heaviness. Choose an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure. Drink it fresh, as avocado discolors within a few hours. Good as a breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Bartender tips

  • Frozen raspberries give a colder, thicker smoothie and are often cheaper.
  • A few drops of lemon juice help the smoothie keep its color a little longer.

Variations

With spinach
Add a small handful (15 g) of baby spinach; the raspberries still dominate the color.
