    Make a frosty raspberry smoothie is the prettiest anti-inflammatory smoothie, with a tart flavor and a beautiful bright pink color from raspberries, hydration from cucumbers, and creamy texture from yogurt.

    Raspberry Smoothie

    This raspberry smoothie is bursting with anti-oxidants and anti-inflammation effects thanks to both raspberries and strawberries and creamy.

    This raspberry smoothie is filling thanks to the yogurt and fruit and veggie fiber, and also extraordinarily hydrating, which leads to a healthier gut, better skin and a curbed appetite.

    Ingredients

    Raspberries - use frozen, and use organic if possibly since all berries tend to absorb pesticides into their skin.

    Strawberries - same here, use organic. Both berries are hyper strong in fiber and anti-inflammatory power.

    Cucumber - also buy cucumber organic and choose the English version wrapped in the produce section as the skin will be less bitter. If you buy unwrapped cucumber, peel before using in this smoothie. Also zucchini works well and adds more fiber. Either cucumber or zucchini needs to be unpeeled (unless you use unwrapped cucumber, chopped and frozen before making the smoothie to ensure the smoothie is frosty.

    Yogurt - I used cashew yogurt, but any will work. The more fat, the creamier the smoothie. Or freeze the yogurt in ice cube trays, and blend it like that to thicken their texture.

    Pomegranate juice - to add vitamin C, as well as a fresh bite and accent the sweetness from the berries.

    How to Make This Smoothie

    Step 1: Freeze your milk in ice cube trays, and at least the raspberries. Freezing ensures a frosty texture.

    Step 2: Blend all ingredients until smoothie. Drink the smoothie right away, or pour into ice cube trays and freeze until you are ready to blend again.

    Is this Smoothie Vegan & Dairy-Free?

    As are all my smoothies, this raspberry smoothie recipe is Vegetarian, vegan, plant-based, dairy-free, and gluten-free.

    Two Important Tips

    Never add ice to a smoothie - it waters down flavor, texture and nutrition.

    Never add sugar to a smoothie if you can resist. Use green grapes or pears if you have to sweeten it. Both are sweet, yet neutral so won't change the flavor, and won't change most colors.

    I have lots more ways to sweeten smoothies in a healthy way both on my blog or in my smoothie book.

    Raspberry Smoothie Variations

    Instead of yogurt, you can use a banana, although that will add a sweeter flavor.

    Instead of pomegranate, use lime juice to enhance the anti-inflammatory effect.

    Instead of cucumber, use zucchini.

    Add other flavors. Try mint or basil for an herbal take. Or chopped fresh ginger will add detox power and a zingy taste.

    Change out the smoothie flavor all together? Use mango instead of strawberries for a more melon like flavor.

    FAQS

    There are a lot of questions regarding the nutritional benefits of raspberry smoothies so I am addressing two common questions below.

    Are Raspberry Smoothies Healthy?

    Raspberry smoothies are high in fiber and strong anti-inflammatories, as well as supportive of gut health. They are rich in vitamins including vitamin C, magnesium, and iron. [source]

    Can Berry Smoothies Help Lose Weight?

    The combination of two berries and cucumber in this raspberry smoothie can because you'll feel full longer and feel hydrated, thus able to avoid weight-gaining snacks.
