Make a refreshing apple raspberry smoothie this summer! This easy smoothie recipe uses fresh apples and frozen raspberries plus other yummy ingredients like banana and greek yogurt. Don’t miss the free recipe!

I love making smoothies. They are such a great way to enjoy a wide variety of fruit together in different combinations.

If there’s one combination I didn’t think of for a long time as smoothie-worthy, it is this one (apples and raspberries). But now, I’m so happy I tried this combo!

I mean, think about it. Apples and raspberries are often put together in desserts, like pies or crumbles. Why not try it in smoothie form?

So I did! I ended up adding some extra ingredients, all of which contribute to the smoothie’s overall great flavor and texture.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s make this together!

Ingredients

Here is what you’ll need to make an apple raspberry smoothie at home:

Raspberries – I used frozen raspberries in this recipe.

Apple – You can use lots of varieties, but I love using a fuji apple for this smoothie. Fujis are sweet and crisp!

Banana – a half of a frozen banana will add a nice thick and creamy texture to the smoothie. I prefer buying fresh bananas, cutting them in half, flash freezing them, and keeping them in a ziploc bag for all my smoothies.

Milk – While I used regular dairy milk, you can also sub a non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk if you prefer.

Greek yogurt – To add to the sweetness of the smoothie, I like to use either raspberry or strawberry greek yogurt. If you like your smoothie more tart, feel free to use plain instead.

Spinach – Spinach is optional, but I like to add in a small handful to give the smoothie a little extra nutrition!

How to Make an Apple Raspberry Smoothie

It is extremely simple to make an apple raspberry smoothie!

Step 1: Prep Ingredients

First off, make sure to prepare your ingredients. Cut up an apple and make sure to remove all bits of the core and seeds. I used 3.5 oz of apple total, which was about 1 whole apple. There is no need to peel the apple unless you’d like to.

Step 2: Blend

Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend on high until smooth! I use a vitamix for the job, but you can use any blender that is able to blend frozen fruit.

Smoothie Customizations

Want to make this smoothie your own? You can totally make your own customizations! Here are some ideas:

• Add strawberries for an apple-raspberry-strawberry smoothie (extra berries are always great right?!)
• Sub the raspberries for a different berry you have on hand like strawberries or blackberries
• Add in another unique fruit you need to use up, like blueberries or peaches

The options are really unlimited! Feel free to get creative and use what you already have on hand.
