Raspberry smoothie
Perfectly summer– Too hard to describe :p
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks (optional)
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup orange pineapple juice (mango juice works too)
- Optional: 1/2 cup of yogurt
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.Add the frozen raspberries, frozen pineapple chunks, banana, and orange pineapple juice to a quality blender. If you are adding yogurt, add it at this time as well. It is not necessary to cut up the banana if it is fresh. If it is frozen you may want to cut it in half. It’s also helpful if you are freezing bananas yourself to freeze them in chunks!Blend the fruit and juice on high for a minute or so. Make sure the lid is securely placed on top of your blender so you don’t have an explosion! Then turn the blender speed down to a lower setting for a minute or so to help create a smooth texture.Pour the smoothie into a large glass or to go container and use a smoothie straw to drink it up! You can probably share this smoothie with someone else, but we can drink this recipe in one sitting!
Notes
Some blenders work better than others for making a smooth smoothie. Usually the ones with blades that run all the way up the blender help to blend the smoothie appropriately. If yours does not handle frozen foods well, it may take a little bit longer.
