Three Ingredient Raspberry Banana Smoothie

Raspberries give this smoothie a bright pink colour and a fragrant tartness. A whole banana balances them with sweetness, and almond drink keeps it dairy free and light.

About this smoothie

Raspberry and banana is a pairing that appeals to almost everyone: the berries are intensely aromatic and a little sour, the banana soft and sweet. Almond drink adds a mild nutty note without masking the fruit.

Raspberries are a good source of vitamin C and fibre. Because it needs only three ingredients and works well with frozen berries, this is a smoothie you can make any time of year, for breakfast or as a quick snack.

Bartender tips

  • Frozen raspberries make the smoothie thick and cold, like a soft ice drink.
  • Strain through a sieve if you want a completely seed free texture.

Variations

Raspberry vanilla
Add a few drops of vanilla extract for a dessert like flavour.
