Ingredients
Frozen raspberries. If raspberry isn’t your thing, frozen strawberries is another great option or any of your favorite fruits can work.
Banana. Fresh or a frozen banana will work. Banana gives this smoothie it’s sweetness.
Plain greek yogurt. I recipe tested with vanilla greek yogurt too so you can use that as well.
Coconut water. Use natural coconut water with no added sugar. Costco has Kirkland Brand Organic Coconut Water that is not only tasty but very affordable.
Maple syrup. As needed.

Helpful tips
Use frozen raspberries for best results. You can also freeze fresh raspberries by rinsing them and then laying them out on a sheet tray and placing in the freezer.
Frozen banana works too.
The greek yogurt makes this a thicker smoothie but you can thin it out by using less yogurt and more coconut water.
If the coconut water is room temp, add in some ice cubes to make it more cold.
Make sure the banana is super ripe.
Add in the maple syrup little by little to avoid over sweetening.
Can you make a smoothie without Greek yogurt?
You can defintely make this smoothie without Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt or any type of yogurt can be used.
Serving suggestions and alternatives for this simple raspberry smoothie:
- Instead of using maple syrup to sweeten, try a little honey, agave syrup, coconut sugar, date syrup or pitted dates.
- Add in ground flaxseed, hemp seeds or chia seeds for extra nutrients.
- Blending leafy greens such as kale or spinach is delicious!
- Change up the fruits and try it with mango, strawberries, mixed berries or peaches.
- Replace the coconut water with milk or use a plant based milk such as oat milk, cashew milk, coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk.
- Try mixing in frozen cauliflower. You won’t taste it!
- Add in a scoop of protein powder.
- Change up the berries and try all strawberry or a blueberry smoothie.
- In add some healthy fats like peanut butter, almond butter, avocado or coconut oil.
