Raspberry Vanilla Protein Smoothie

This Raspberry Vanilla Protein Smoothie recipe is one of our go-to smoothies because it’s so easy to prepare and we usually always have all of the necessary ingredients on hand – our favorite kind of recipe!

It’s the perfect way to make use of those raspberries that are in season. We always recommend eating seasonally for better flavor and nutrient density. Raspberries are at their peak in summer – they are perfectly sweet, juicy, and slightly addictive. They are rich in antioxidants and great for your heart!

Cashews and hemp seeds are an excellent source of healthy fats and protein, adding 10 grams of plant powered protein to this smoothie.

You can either drink it from a glass or pour it into a bowl and serve it up as a smoothie bowl topped with fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, coconut or granola. The options are endless!
