There’s nothing I love more than starting my day with a healthy smoothie. I look for recipes that are high in protein and low in sugar to give me sustained energy without a mid-morning crash.
This raspberry smoothie is a perfect example and one of my favorite ways to jump start my day! Two powerhouse ingredients, coconut milk and tofu, give it an irresistible creaminess along with plenty of protein and healthy fats.
Top it off with raspberries, mint leaves, a little low-carb sweetener, and some vanilla, and you have yourself a super refreshing treat. I can’t think of a better way to energize my morning.
How to make a raspberry smoothie
This delicious, healthy, satisfying smoothie comes together in less than five minutes. Just add the ingredients, blend, and serve!
Step 1: Place the raspberries, mint, stevia, vanilla, and coconut milk in your blender.
Step 2: Blend until completely smooth. Add the ice and blend until smooth again.
Step 3: Lastly, add the silken tofu and blend on high until completely blended.
Step 4: Pour, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint, if preferred, and serve.
You can sip your smoothie at home or take it on-the-go. It’s perfect no matter what you have planned for the day!
Variations for this recipe
One of my favorite parts about smoothies is how easy they are to customize. There are so many ways to get creative!
Looking to reduce the calories and fat content? Swap out some or all of the coconut milk for another low-carb plant-based milk like almond, macadamia, or hemp. If you aren’t worried about carbs, you could use oat milk as well.
Want to add even more protein? Add a scoop of pea protein powder to give yourself an extra boost.
Craving a different flavor? Use blueberries, strawberries, or mixed berries in your smoothie.
Feel free to have some fun with this yummy and versatile recipe!
Storage
This smoothie is best served fresh. I would not recommend storing it in the refrigerator.
If you only want one serving, simply halve the ingredients to blend up one smoothie. Then, you can save the rest of the ingredients for a delicious vegan smoothie to enjoy later in the week!
