Banana and raspberry is one of the classic smoothie pairings for good reason: the banana adds creaminess and sweetness, the raspberries bring acidity and a bright colour. Raspberries also contain a fair amount of fibre and vitamin C.
Coconut water is thinner than milk, so this smoothie is refreshing rather than filling. It suits a warm afternoon or the time after sport. If the tiny seeds bother you, press the raspberries through a sieve first.
Yes, they work very well and chill the drink at the same time.
Blend the raspberries with a little coconut water, press through a fine sieve, then blend with the banana.
