“Delightful, fresh, and an undeniable SNACK” is our usual morning mantra. We start by saying these descriptors in the mirror, then we grab our blenders and whip up this (delightful, fresh, snack-able) raspberry smoothie. Coincidence? Nah. You are what you eat, after all!
Just 6 ingredients and 5 minutes required for this creamy, sweet treat! It’s also the perfect base for a scoop of protein powder or some salty chocolate granola. Time to get your snack on, friends! Let us show you how it’s done!
To get this smoothie going, you’ll need just a handful of simple ingredients! Frozen raspberries and banana create the creamy, tart-sweet base, while dairy-free yogurt and cashew butter add richness.
Then add your choice of milk to get the blender whirling and some cacao nibs for crunchy pops of chocolate flavor.
If you want it sweeter, add in some pitted dates, or if you want it to be more filling, add in your favorite protein powder (we recommend vanilla).
We hope you LOVE this raspberry chip smoothie! It’s:
Creamy
Fruity
Vibrant
Naturally sweet
Studded with chocolate
& SO quick & easy!
It’s a satisfying snack or on-the-go breakfast, especially if you opt to add protein powder! Or enjoy as a gorgeous smoothie bowl topped with cacao nibs, fresh fruit, and your favorite granola. We especially love it with our Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Granola!

Creamy Raspberry Chip Smoothie (5 Minutes!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (plain, unsweetened // we used almond)
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 cup frozen sliced banana (1 large banana yields ~1 cup or 150 g)
- 2 Tbsp dairy-free yogurt (we used coconut yogurt)
- 2 Tbsp cashew butter (we like Artisana // see notes if nut-free*)
- 2 Tbsp cacao nibs (or sub dark chocolate chips)
ADD INS optional
- 1-2 large medjool dates, pitted (for added sweetness)
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice (we recommend vanilla)
TOPPINGS optional
- More yogurt
- Cacao nibs
- Fresh raspberries
- Granola
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine dairy-free milk, frozen raspberries, frozen bananas, yogurt, and cashew butter. Blend on high until smooth. Taste and adjust, adding pitted dates for more sweetness or protein powder for a more filling smoothie.
- Best when fresh. Keeps for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, but it will get thinner in texture. You could also freeze into an ice cube tray and re-blend later (adding more dairy-free milk as needed to encourage blending), or freeze into popsicles!

Aline says
The best smoothie I have tried in years!! It was so good that as soon as I made it I started prepping some frozen raspberries & bananas to make some more in the coming days!! Will probably freeze some into popsicles! It’s so good!
YAY! We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying it, Aline. Thank you for the lovely review! xo
Rory says
This was an AMAZING recipe! I have nut allergies so I tried it with sunflower butter and it tasted so good! I also added coconut oil just for texture and that worked too!
Woohoo! So glad you enjoyed, Rory!
Laura D says
This was really yummy. I made it with vanilla flavored soymilk, added a couple medjool dates, plain cashew yogurt, and didn’t have time to freeze my banana. I also didn’t have cacao nibs so i put some cocoa powder instead. I enjoyed it a lot! Would probably be even better if the banana was frozen and with the nibs.
Thanks so much for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications, Laura! xo
Viktoriya says
I love raspberries and chocolate, yet somehow spaced out the chocochips and only realized after I guzzled the smoothie down haha. Super creamy and delicious. Thank you for this creation.
Ha, glad it was still a hit!! Thank you for sharing, Viktoriya! xo
Evelyn says
YUM! Even with a few subs because I didn’t have coconut yogurt or cashew butter. I used a frozen coconut milk ice cube instead. I especially loved the cacao nibs added at the end for crunchy bites in the smoothie. Great recipe!
Yay! Thank you for sharing, Evelyn! xo
Kate Mackey says
Do you think this recipe would work for popsicles?
Hi Kate, that should work!
Annie says
This was delicious! I didn’t have protein powder so I added 2T Hemp hearts for 6g protein. I did add 1/2 c extra milk to obtain my ideal thickness. I’m working on increasing my fiber and this smoothie is perfect! Thanks 😊
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Annie! Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo
