125 g (4 oz) raspberries
150 g (5 oz) low-fat natural yogurt
2 drops vanilla essence
1 teaspoon clear honey (optional)
1 heaped tablespoon low-fat greek yogurt

  • For a sweeter smoothie, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup.
  • If you want a more tart smoothie, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • For a creamier smoothie, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
  • For a vegan smoothie, use almond milk or soy milk instead of cow's milk.
