Raspberry Almond Butter Oat Smoothie

Yes, I know. I’m all about raspberries right now. I guess you could say I’ve been compiling a list of raspberry ideas, and now that they’re finally affordable, I’m blazing through all of them.

What you’ll need:

  • 1/2 a sliced frozen banana
  • 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2/3 cup milk or water
  • 1/4 cup oats (quick or rolled) (I used BetterOats organic quick oats)
  • 1-2 tbsp almond butter
  • pinch of salt

How to make it:

  1. Puree all ingredients together in a blender or food processor until creamy.

Just an FYI:

All ingredients for the smoothie can easily be adjusted to meet your preferences. As written, this recipe makes a somewhat thin smoothie; use less liquid for a thicker smoothie.

Make it green: add 1/2 cup packed spinach, stems removed

Now that it’s too hot in New York for my hot chocolate (it suddenly jumped to 90 degrees last week), I have had to find an alternative snack. I keep going through my frozen banana supply too fast making nice cream, so now I’ve ventured into other fruits. And just like that, I’m back into making smoothies.

I may not love smoothies, but one way to make them more appealing to me is nut butter (duh). I would probably eat dog food if I could cover it in almond butter!

You could replace the banana in this recipe with more raspberries. That would give you a POW of raspberry flavor and save you from the ever-powerful banana taste, if that’s something you dislike. I like a little banana, so I thought this was a good ratio.
