Raspberries bring a bright, almost sparkling acidity, and coconut milk softens it into something creamy and round. The result is pink, fresh and just sweet enough.

About this smoothie
Raspberries are among the most aromatic berries and have a naturally tart flavour. They are also known for their high fibre content. Half a banana sweetens the smoothie and gives it body, while natural yoghurt adds a fresh tang and creaminess. Coconut milk in drink form brings a light tropical note without making the drink heavy. It is a good breakfast smoothie and also works as a light dessert.
Bartender tips
Pass the smoothie through a sieve if you want to remove the raspberry seeds.
Frozen raspberries are cheaper out of season and make the drink colder and thicker.
Variations
Vegan version
Use coconut yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, use them straight from the freezer.
Is it vegan?
Not as written, because of the dairy yoghurt. Coconut or soy yoghurt makes it vegan.
Can I use canned coconut milk?
Yes, but dilute it: about 50 ml coconut milk with 100 ml water.
