Jumpstart your morning (or any time of day) with this refreshing Mint Raspberry Smoothie created by Chef Meredith Baird Figone.

It’s ready in 5 minutes, needs one blender, and is Kroma Reset-approved.

WHAT IS A MINT RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE?

A mint raspberry smoothie is a bright, fruity blended drink that pairs sweet-tart raspberries with cooling fresh mint. This version is made creamy and filling with avocado in place of yogurt or banana, which gives it a silky texture and healthy fats without added sugar. A little fresh ginger and an optional pinch of cayenne add gentle warmth, which balances the cool mint and makes it more than an ordinary fruit smoothie.

WHY THIS MINT RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE?

Chef Meredith Baird Figone’s recipe balances flavor and nutrition in every sip. Kroma Vanilla Cinnamon Plant-Based Protein adds plant protein and warm vanilla-cinnamon notes, and Kroma OMG Cookie Butter adds a rich, nutty depth. Avocado makes it creamy and satisfying, raspberries add fiber and antioxidants, and mint and ginger make it fresh and lively.

It’s dairy-free, naturally sweetened with monk fruit or a date, and filling enough to replace breakfast.

• Kroma OMG Cookie Butter: Adds rich, nutty flavor and healthy fats that make the smoothie more satisfying.
• Avocado: Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, E, K, and B6.
• Raspberries: High in fiber and vitamin C, plus antioxidants like quercetin and ellagic acid that help protect cells from free-radical damage.
• Mint: Traditionally used to soothe digestion and ease indigestion, and it adds a cool, refreshing flavor.
• Ginger: Long used to relieve nausea and support digestion, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.
• Monk Fruit or Date: Monk fruit is a zero-calorie natural sweetener that doesn’t raise blood sugar. A date adds natural sweetness plus fiber, potassium, and magnesium.

TIPS FOR THE BEST MINT RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE

• Use Frozen Raspberries: They make the smoothie thick and cold without needing ice.
• Use a Ripe Avocado: A soft, ripe avocado blends smoothly and makes it creamiest.
• Start Small with Ginger and Cayenne: Both are potent. Add a little, taste, and adjust.
• Strain the Seeds (Optional): For an extra-smooth texture, pour the smoothie through a fine mesh strainer to remove raspberry seeds.
• Sweeten to Taste: Raspberries vary in tartness, so add monk fruit a drop at a time.
