Add protein to this raspberry smoothie
Want to add even more protein to this raspberry smoothie? Here are a few ideas:
- Use more Greek yogurt: Yogurt adds quite a bit of protein. Use ½ cup instead of ¼ cup Greek yogurt. Note that the color will be lighter and less vibrant.
- Add cashew butter or almond butter. A cashew flavor or almond flavor goes well with raspberries. Use about 1 tablespoon, 2 for a stronger flavor. This addition also dulls the flavor a bit.
Flavor variations!
This raspberry smoothie tastes amazing as is. But if you’d like it mix it up even more, we’ve got answers! Here are some ideas for ways to make it even tastier:
- Mint or basil. Add a few fresh mint or basil leaves for an herbaceous spin.
- Coconut. Throw in a handful of coconut to the mix (or toasted coconut).
- Ginger. Add ½ teaspoon of grated ginger to the mix for a spicy brightness.
- Mango or pineapple. Substitute 1 cup of frozen raspberries for 1 cup of frozen mango or pineapple. This will vary the color a bit as well.
