Description
Surprisingly low in sugar and delightfully fruity, this Raspberry Cream Pie Smoothie tastes like a summer dessert and is loaded with skin-boosting antioxidants.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop vanilla Vega Sport Performance Protein or your fave vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 big handful mixed baby greens
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 1” piece peeled fresh ginger root
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 serving Navitas Organics Beauty Boost or 2 tsp your choice of fruit superfood powders (freeze dried goji powder, acai powder, etc.)
- ice cubes, as needed
- topping: coconut whipped cream, toasted coconut and fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except for the ice in a blender. Blend until almost smooth.
- Add in the ice, then blend on high until all ice is crushed. If you want a thicker consistency, add a few more ice cubes.
- Pour into 2 glasses, garnish and serve.
Notes
- Frozen raspberries work well here to help maintain a nice thick consistency, but fresh ones work well too – you’ll just need a bit more ice.
- Coconut whipped cream can be purchased from the frozen section of Whole Foods. Alternatively, you can make it by whipping the cream from a can of chilled full-fat coconut milk with a hand mixer. Just be patient – it WILL turn into whipped cream eventually! Add 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice to taste, if you like.
