Why I Love This Raspberry Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

As a home gardener on a small farm, I grow raspberries and blueberries. We have been blessed with bountiful crops (especially blueberries) for the past few years, and I love making the most of the bounty. I like to make jam, syrup, berry gelato, cobblers, smoothies, and crisps. This smoothie recipe is a win for everyone, but especially for those who are watching their sugar or fat intake.  If you want to add other ingredients and don’t care about the sugar, this recipe is very versatile. Change it up to suit your needs, and enjoy a bit of summer in a cup no matter what time of year it is. Read on for the easy recipe!

Raspberry Blueberry Smoothie Equipment

The equipment needed for this recipe is simple. Here are the basics;

1 colander for rinsing the blueberries

1 liquid measuring cup for the apple juice

1 measuring cup for the yogurt

1 blender (it can be just a basic kitchen blender

Raspberry Blueberry Smoothie Ingredients

2 cups frozen blueberries

2 cups frozen raspberries

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (you can also use vanilla or berry flavored yogurt if you are not concerned about the sugar)

1 cup of sugar-free spiced apple cider mix (regular apple juice is fine as well, if you are not concerned about the sugar)

Raspberry Blueberry Smoothie Instructions

Mix 1 envelope of sugar-free spiced cider mix with 1 cup of water. Stir to dissolve the mix.

Measure out the blueberries, place in the colander, and rinse. Add the frozen blueberries to the blender.

Measure out the raspberries, place in the colander, and rinse. Add the frozen raspberries to the blender.

Add the yogurt, and the apple cider to the blender.

Pulse and blend the ingredients. I sometimes have to take the lid off and push the ingredients around a bit with a long-handled spoon for adequate blending.

Pour into cups and serve immediately. Makes about 3 cups. Enjoy!

Raspberry Blueberry Smoothie Variations

Add 1 6-ounce container of strawberry, blueberry, or vanilla yogurt for extra sweetness. Substitute one cup of apple juice for the sugar-free apple cider. Substitute another kind of juice, such as orange juice, for the apple cider. Add a frozen banana for a thicker smoothie. There are many possibilities!
