Sour Black Cherry Smoothie
Are you the kind of person who like the sour more in the “sweet and sour” combination? Do you like a good pucker after you take a drink? Wait, don’t answer that. But you know what I mean. If tart is your taste then you should give this cherry smoothie a try. It is sour but great tasting. Don’t be afraid to add a sweetener such as Stevia if you need a little more sweet in your sour.
Sour Cherry ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup pitted black cherries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
- 4 ice cubes
Combine the ingredients in your favorite blender and blend (from low to high if you have variable speeds) until smooth. Serves 2 or 1 if you are really hungry.

Perfect Purple Detox Smoothie
I haven’t tried this detox smoothie with the exact ingredients yet. The smoothie detoxing ingredients are extensive and may be hard to find, so feel free to substitute where you need to. The original recipe writer write, “the cayenne powder gives it a spicy punch that intensifies the rest of the flavors, such as sweet-tart raspberries, antioxidant-rich wild blueberries, tangy apple cider vinegar, smooth almond milk, sweet acai juice, nutty flax seed meal and the coconut water ice cubes.”
With a healthy description like that you know its got to be worth trying. Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods stores will have the ingredients, but I put links to some of them on Amazon if you need to buy from there.
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces Acai Juice
- 6 ounces almond or soy milk (I prefer almond milk)
- 1 Tbsp soy creamer
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 banana (frozen)
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 Tbsp Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal
(blueberry if you can find it, try Trader Joe’s)
- 1 cup ice cubes (coconut water ice cubes pref’d)
- 1 Tbsp Macro Greens
powder
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1-3 dashes cayenne powder
Serves 2 healthy people in need of detox.

Banana Raspberry Yogurt Smoothie Recipe
I don’t care for raspberries and putting them in a smoothie isn’t something I usually do. Mixing them with other fruits certainly helps and once blended their velvet texture, which I don’t care for either, isn’t an issue, but I still don’t try to fit them in my smoothie mixes. But my wife and kids like them so I keep a few bags in case they ask for them. I’m also sure that many of the readers like them too, so here is another raspberry smoothie for everyone else. ;-)
I love soymilk and almond milk so feel free to use either for this recipe. I also leave it to you to choose sweetened and/or vanilla flavoring. I personally would choose unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but your tastes may be different.
Ingredients:
- 1 container (6 oz) 99% Fat Free French vanilla yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups soymilk or almond milk
- 1 cup unsweetened frozen or fresh raspberries
- 1 medium banana
- add a few ice cubes if you don’t use frozen raspberries
You know the drill…
Place ingredients in blender or food processor. Cover; blend on high speed about 30 seconds or until smooth. Serves 2.
Barry Zito Protein Smoothie
I was thumbing through ESPN the Magazine and found this smoothie recipe by Major League Baseball pitcher Barry Zito. He says, “I came up with this after a bit of experimentation.” Usually that is when the best smoothies are made, I think. He added, “Protein smoothies can suffice for a few of your meals, but a lot of the remade smoothies or shakes are too chalky. Stevia is a key ingredient because the raspberries can be bitter.”
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of various frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 2 cups of vanilla rice milk
- 2 scoops of whey protein
- 1/2 packet of Stevia.
Simply blend all the ingredients until smooth and pour into a glass.
Raspberry Strawberry Smoothie
My first twitter smoothie recipe submission. Hopefully not my last. This is from @victormazur. I haven’t tried it, but can you go wrong with strawberries, raspberries and pineapple? I submit you cannot. As always, please let me know if you liked it. Thanks, Victor!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of strawberries
- 1 cup of raspberries
- 1/2 cup of pineapple juice
- 1 cup of low-fat natural yogurt
- 5 ice cubes
You can use frozen berries in place of the ice cubes.
