Ingredients You’ll Need
- Milk: Prepare your raspberry and blueberry smoothie with any milk of your choice. You can use dairy, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk.
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt is my favorite because of the extra protein to keep you full longer, but plain yogurt works. You can also try vanilla or honey yogurt if you prefer something sweeter.
- Berries: This recipe is a great way to use the fresh or frozen raspberries and blueberries in your fridge. Like our Grimace McDonald’s Milkshake, the combination of raspberries and blueberries gives the drink its vibrant color. Use fresh or frozen raspberries and blueberries.
Additions and Substitutions
Feel free to make the smoothie your own with mix-ins, additions, and swaps. Plus, this recipe is a fun way to use the healthy ingredients in your fridge.
- Fresh or Frozen Fruits: If you have fresh berries, use them for the mixed berry smoothie. Frozen fruit is great when blueberries or raspberries aren’t in season. Plus, frozen berries create a thicker smoothie if that is something you enjoy. If you’re using fresh blueberries and raspberries instead of frozen, you might want to add a handful of ice cubes to make the smoothie colder and give it the perfect texture.
- Vegetables: Include zucchini, beets, kale, or spinach.
- Juice: Instead of milk, use fresh orange juice, apple juice, or grape juice.
- Add Protein: If you’re craving more protein, consider including your favorite protein powder, chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or nut butter to make the smoothie more filling.
- Honey: I prefer the natural sweetness of the banana, but you can add dates, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, sugar, or a sugar-free alternative like monk fruit.
Tools Used to Make this Recipe
I recommend using a high speed blender since the berries have seeds, but you can use whatever you have. A small blender, food processor, or immersion blender will work.

What to do with the Leftovers
- Refrigerate: The berry smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but store any leftovers in an airtight container or glass jar for two days.
- Freeze: Divide the smoothies into an ice cube tray. Once frozen, transfer the frozen smoothie cubes to a freezer-safe container or bag. Raspberry blueberry smoothie will freeze for 2-3 months.
- Thaw: Add the frozen cubes to a blender with milk, water, or juice, and process until smooth.
- Repurpose: Make a smoothie bowl with toppings like low FodMap granola, fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter. You can also pour the leftovers into popsicle molds to make kid-friendly smoothie popsicles!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use other berries in this smoothie?
I like to use whatever ingredients are on hand. You can switch it up by adding blackberries, strawberries, or acai berries. Other options include chopped mango, cherries, or pineapple.
Can you use fresh fruit in this smoothie?
If fresh raspberries and blueberries are in season, use them in the smoothie. But if they’re not, I highly recommend going with frozen fruit. It’ll improve the taste of your smoothie and help you save on grocery costs.
