Share this blog:

Looking for a refreshing treat that’s also packed with nutrients? A blueberry raspberry smoothie is incredibly easy and quick to make. It’s the perfect way to enjoy your favorite berries while fueling your body with vitamins and antioxidants.

You’ll love the natural sweetness and vibrant color of this fruity blend. Blueberries and raspberries are full of flavor and bring a burst of freshness to your day. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this delicious drink that’s great as a breakfast option or a midday snack.

Preparing The Ingredients

First, grab a handful of fresh blueberries and raspberries. Make sure to rinse them well under cold water. It’s always a good idea to dry them a bit with a paper towel so your smoothie doesn’t end up too watery.

Next, you’ll need some almond milk. You can use unsweetened if you prefer a less sugary drink. Measure about a cup and have it ready. If you like your smoothie thicker, you might want to use less liquid.

Don’t forget the ice cubes. About half a cup should do the trick. They’ll keep your drink nice and chilled.

You might want to add a spoonful of maple syrup if you like your smoothies sweet. Taste your berries to decide if you need that extra sweetness.

Finally, gather everything on your kitchen counter to make blending easier. This way, you’ll have everything in one place, and you can whip up your smoothie without any fuss.

Variations To Try

• With mango: Sometimes you want to mix things up with your smoothie. Adding some mango to your vegan blueberry raspberry smoothie gives it a tropical flair. Just a handful can add a nice sweetness to the drink.
• With spinach: Try swapping spinach for an extra nutrient boost. It won’t change the flavor much, but it adds lots of vitamins and a lovely green color.
• With coconut: Fancy a touch more creaminess? Use coconut milk instead of almond milk. It makes the smoothie richer and adds a faint coconut taste.
• With lemon: If you’re in the mood for a bit of a tang, throwing in a squeeze of lemon juice can brighten things up. It works well with the berries to create a refreshing twist.
• With peanut butter: When you want more protein, blending in some peanut butter gives you that. It also pairs well with the fruity flavors for a delicious blend. Just a spoonful is enough to enrich both taste and texture.
• With oatmeal: A little oatmeal can thicken the smoothie while making it more filling. It creates a lovely breakfast option and keeps you full longer. Just a couple of tablespoons will do the trick.
• With spices: For a unique flavor, a pinch of cinnamon adds warmth and spice. It complements the berries beautifully. You don’t need much—just a sprinkle will do.

Storage Tips

• Pour any leftover smoothie into an airtight container. Filling the container to the top can help prevent unwanted air and oxidation. You can also use a mason jar for a handy on-the-go option.
• Keep your smoothie in the fridge if you plan to drink it within a day. This keeps the flavors fresh and smooth.
• If you want to store it for longer, consider freezing it. Pour the smoothie into ice cube trays and freeze. This makes it easy to blend again later for a quick, tasty drink.
• Note: Some separation might occur after storing. Just give it a good shake or stir before enjoying it.
