Easy Raspberry Smoothie

While I love the idea of healthy or “clean eating” smoothies, I find a lot of them don’t actually taste that great. Green smoothies – regardless of what they say – always seem to keep that “green” taste. Fruit smoothies can easily get too sweet. And banana based smoothies tend to get boring after a while. So, I took things into my own hands! After much experimentation I found a smoothie that I actually enjoy: a raspberry smoothie with hints of coconut and honey.

This recipe features simple ingredients and can be altered for your particular tastes though I like it exactly how it is! My only suggestions are to switch the berry you are using or use a different kind of milk (coconut, almond, etc.) to change the flavour without sacrificing the base recipe.

One thing I really like about this recipe, is you can make it in any serving size. For this post I made a ½ serving since I was still experimenting. The recipe below however, is for a FULL SERVING even though the pictures are for half. I wrote in the ingredient picture below that you need double what is shown for a full serving. Make sense? No? Moving on…

Recipe (1 serving)

• 1 Cup Milk
• 2/3 Cup Raspberries
• 2 Tbsp Coconut
• 2 Tsp Honey
• 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon (more of an add to taste thing)

1. Combine all ingredients in blender.
2. Add ice cubes to alter thickness.
3. Blend until smooth and all ice broken up.
4. Pour into a glass and sprinkle with coconut.
5. Serve.

That’s it: 5 ingredients and 5 steps. Nice and simple.
