The chocolate chips adds a crunchy little chocolate bits to every sip (or bite, if you’re doing a bowl!).
Raspberries are the main fruit here for this healthy smoothie, with a little bit of banana to add some sweetness and riced cauliflower for some veggies – no, you can’t taste them!

Fresh vs. Frozen Fruit
If you’ve ever tried to make a smoothie with all fresh fruit, you probably know you’re basically just making fruit milk. Even if you add ice, the texture doesn’t turn out great.
So using frozen fruit for smoothies is going to get you a thicker and creamier consistency without having to compensate with adding ice.
You can freeze fresh fruit (a great thing to do when you’re picking your own or the grocery store has sales) or buy directly frozen.
Smoothie Superfood Add-Ins
Smoothies are an easy way to boost nutrition with some of these additional ingredients:
- hemp hearts – a great source of Omega 3s and 6s, as well as plant protein. A serving (3 tablespoons) also provides 10 grams of plant protein, 45% daily value of magnesium and 100% daily value of manganese, among other important nutrients.
- flaxseed meal or chia seeds – another heart healthy fat with Omega 3s and 6s, as well as a good source of fiber. Just be sure to drink your smoothie quicker than usual, because flaxseeds and chia seeds can make the texture gel-like.
- avocado – using just a couple tablespoons for ripened avocado will add satiating and heart healthy fats (you won’t taste it).
- spinach – a tasteless way to get more greens into your smoothie.
- rolled oats or quick oats – A good source of fiber and iron and blend in well. Just don’t add more than 1/4 cup of oats per serving.
- collagen peptides – if you’re looking for a tasteless way to add more protein in, collagen peptides are great.
Smoothie Making Tips
For this raspberry smoothie recipe everything can be added to the blender, blend until smooth and desired consistency is achieved.
Using a high powered blender will make sure you don’t end up with any chunks.
For personal servings, a NutriBullet works great. If you’re making 2 or more servings, a standard blender is best.
Thick vs Thin Smoothies
Smoothie thickness is definitely personal preference. As written, this smoothie is a bit thicker. If you want a thinner smoothie, you can increase the liquid up to a full cup
Make it into a Smoothie Bowl
If you prefer smoothie bowls versus drinks, or just want to sit down and enjoy a bowl with all of the toppings, all you have to do is reduce the amount of milk you’re using.
Start with a 1/4 cup of milk and blend, scooping down the sides of the blender as needed (a high powered blender is going to give you a better consistency as well). Be careful not to add too much milk too early, or you’ll just end up with a smoothie drink.
