Introduction

This Raspberry Banana Swirl Smoothie is a delicious and refreshing treat that’s perfect any time of day. Creamy bananas blend with tangy raspberries for a beautiful fruity contrast and a naturally balanced sweetness. Topped with crunchy granola, it makes a quick, healthy snack or breakfast.

Two clear glass cups sit on a white marbled surface, each filled with a creamy smoothie that has two visible layers swirled together: a light pink layer and a pale cream layer. The swirls create a soft marbled look inside the glasses. Each cup is topped with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of granola, adding texture and color contrast on top. A clear straw is placed in each glass, angled outward, making the drink look ready to enjoy. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

160g (about 2) ripe bananas, frozen
400ml plant-based milk (or any milk of your choice)
10g oat flakes
5g chia seeds
25g almond paste
150ml plant-based milk
100g frozen raspberries
100ml raspberry puree (such as Boiron or Ponthier)
Granola for topping
Fresh or frozen berries for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Add all ingredients for the banana smoothie (frozen bananas, 400ml plant-based milk, oat flakes, chia seeds, and almond paste) into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Pour two-thirds of the banana smoothie into glasses and set aside.
Step 3: In the same blender, add the remaining one-third of the banana smoothie, 150ml plant-based milk, frozen raspberries, and raspberry puree. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Pour the raspberry smoothie over the banana smoothie in the glasses. Gently swirl with a spoon or straw to create a marbled effect.
Step 5: Top with granola and fresh or frozen berries. Serve immediately while icy cold and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For a quicker version, blend all ingredients together for a consistent flavor, though you’ll lose the swirl effect.
Use any milk you prefer—dairy or plant-based—for different flavor profiles.
Add a handful of spinach or kale to the banana smoothie for a green boost without affecting taste.
Try substituting almond paste with almond butter for a slightly different texture.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh for the best texture and flavor. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, and add ice or frozen fruit when reheating or serving to restore chill and thickness.
