A velvety smooth, refreshing raspberry smoothie with a rich, creamy texture – perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries

• 1 banana (preferably ripe for extra sweetness)

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (for creaminess) or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option

• 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)

• Ice cubes (optional for a colder, thicker texture)

• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1.  Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the raspberries, banana, yogurt, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup. Add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a thicker texture and colder smoothie.

2.  Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, you can add more milk to reach your desired consistency.

3.  Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
