White Chocolate And Raspberry Smoothie | Greedy Gourmet

Question 1

Can you put frozen raspberries in a blender?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! A good blender should be able to handle frozen fruit. Go with my recommended blender (see 'equipment needed for this recipe' above) and you'll have no problems.

Question 2

Are smoothies better with or without yogurt?

Accepted Answer

They’re definitely better with yogurt – for reasons of taste and texture. However, you can always substitute milk (regular, almond, oat or coconut) for yogurt. You can also add frozen banana, which brings a similar creaminess to smoothies.

Question 3

What kind of yogurt should I use?

Accepted Answer

For me, the best way to make a raspberry smoothie is to use plain Greek yogurt. Its creamy and neutral taste is perfect for making a delicious raspberry smoothie.
If you want a healthy raspberry smoothie, low fat Greek yogurt is the way to go.

Question 4

Can you use just water in a smoothie?

Accepted Answer

You can, although you'll water down that delicious taste. Adding a touch of water is a good idea if your smoothie is too thick, although if you follow the recipe below you'll end up with the perfect texture.

Question 5

Do raspberries have seeds in smoothies?

Accepted Answer

Not if you use a good blender. If you do find that your raspberry smoothie still has seeds, you can pass it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

Question 6

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen raspberries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can replace frozen raspberries with fresh raspberries. However, if using fresh berries, I recommend adding a few ice cubes. This will make your smoothie nice and cool and will thicken up the mixture – which is essential, as fresh raspberries contain more moisture than frozen raspberries.

Question 7

How do you store White Chocolate and Raspberry Smoothie?

Accepted Answer

It’s always best to drink a smoothie straight away! However, if you make too much, or intend on making a big batch, the best way to store your white chocolate and raspberry smoothie is to pour it into a mason jar or another sealable airtight container. Then, store it in the fridge.

Question 8

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Your refrigerated chocolate and raspberry smoothie will keep for a day or two, before losing its wonderful taste and texture.

Question 9

Where can I buy frozen raspberries?

Accepted Answer

Frozen raspberries can be found in supermarkets year round. They are cheaper at times of year when raspberries have to be imported from southern Europe. Personally, I've bought them from Aldi and Asda.
