There’s nothing like a smoothie made with fresh, organic berries.

Especially raspberries.

Raspberries taste good and are very good for you.

These sweet, tart berries are are high in antioxidants, plant compounds that protect against cell damage.

Antioxidants may reduce your risk of certain chronic diseases.

They are a great source of fiber, packing 8 grams per 1-cup (123-gram) serving.

Raspberries provide more than half of the RDI for vitamin C, plus they contain small amounts of Vitamin A,

thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, calcium and zinc.

These are excellent reasons why this vegan Raspberry Coconut Protein Smoothie is one of my favorites.
