This healthy and naturally sweetened raspberry coconut smoothie is dairy-free and vegan with the help of some coconut milk!

I’m all about smoothies right now. I’m sure I’ve whined about this before, but it feels like there are only apples, oranges and bananas over here during the winter. And as someone who struggles to eat veggies, I need my fruit! Luckily, frozen raspberries are super cheap over here so I go through about two pounds of them every week throughout the year, except for those few precious weeks when we have fresh berries.

Mr. Texanerin surprised me with two fresh coconuts right before Christmas. They turned out to be such pretty props that I’ve been making coconut everything! I was kind of shocked by how much I loved the raspberry coconut combination in these gluten-free raspberry coconut oat macaroons that I thought I’d give it another try.

To make this raspberry coconut smoothie creamy, you can either use banana or avocado. If you use banana, the flavor will be really apparent and the smoothie will be naturally sweet. If you use avocado, you won’t taste any avocado but you’ll need to add some sweetener!

I’m getting a little tired of bananas so I went with avocado this time. I added a few drops of Stevia but you could add honey, agave, granulated sugar… whatever you want!

I added coconut butter to add some intense, creamy coconut flavor. I like my smoothie to be completely smooth and so shredded coconut wasn’t going to happen. If you don’t have coconut butter, don’t bother buying it just for this smoothie. Make your own homemade coconut butter! Or leave it out and add shredded coconut or a little coconut extract.

This raspberry coconut smoothie is also naturally dairy-free and vegan! No yogurt is needed. I used canned coconut milk instead of regular milk.

If you want a non-coconut version of this smoothie, check out this raspberry banana avocado smoothie! And for something different, try these turmeric smoothies.
