Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This smoothie has the perfect balance of flavors, from tart raspberries and sweet blueberries. Though it has those fresh summer flavors, it’s made with frozen fruit so you can enjoy it any time of the year!

This is a no-banana smoothie recipe. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t like bananas. A lot of smoothies are made with bananas to thicken them up. A dollop of plain Greek yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt will thicken smoothies right up!

Blueberry Raspberry Smoothies are quick and easy to make with just 5 ingredients. I love them for an afternoon snack, but they’re also great with breakfast or as a post-workout fuel. This smoothie is super refreshing and filling!

Ingredients

Simple, healthy ingredients blend together in this delicious smoothie recipe. These ingredients are gluten-free and easy to swap out to make them dairy-free or vegan.

Raspberries: Frozen raspberries are a must for the best texture.
Blueberries: Opt for frozen wild blueberries if they’re available! They have more nutrients than regular blueberries and a much more concentrated flavor. You could substitute for regular frozen blueberries.
Milk: Use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk. I love making it with 1% organic milk, unsweetened almond milk, or original oat milk.
Greek Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt to thicken the smoothie and add a boost of protein. You could substitute for a dairy-free yogurt substitute.
Honey: A couple of teaspoons of raw and unfiltered honey to add sweetness. This is entirely optional, depending on taste preference! You could leave it out or substitute it for pure maple syrup.

How to Make a Raspberry Blueberry Smoothie

Place the raspberries, blueberries, milk, yogurt, and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth.
If it’s too thick, add an extra splash of milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen berries. Blend again until smooth.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Expert Tip: Use frozen berries in this smoothie for the best texture. If you decide to use fresh berries, either freeze them before using them or add a couple of ice cubes to the blender. The smoothie will be less thick and creamy if you use fresh berries. Read more about how to freeze fresh berries.

Variations

Add some protein. Though this smoothie is already packed with protein from the yogurt and milk, you could add a tablespoon of vanilla protein powder for an extra boost.
Include some leafy greens. Just a small handful of fresh baby spinach or kale is perfect to add some greens to your smoothie.
Make it vegan. Make it plant-based using a dairy-free alternative like unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Use a non-dairy yogurt alternative instead of Greek yogurt. Swap the honey for pure maple syrup, or leave it out altogether.
Give it some added flavor. Add a tablespoon of creamy almond butter for some added flavor. You could also add a dash of cinnamon.
Add some whole grains. Try adding a 1/4 cup of rolled oats. You’ll need a little more milk if you do this.
Try more smoothie add-ins. You could add a tablespoon of hulled hemp seeds, ground flaxseed meal, or chia seeds for added nutritional benefits. These will all make the smoothie a little thicker, so add more milk as needed.

Make Ahead and Storage

Smoothies are best served immediately, so I don’t recommend making them ahead of time or storing them.
