    Raspberry Avocado Lime Smoothie

    May 21, 2017 By Monika Last Updated February 3, 2022 26 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    This 5-ingredient vegan raspberry avocado smoothie with lime is light, creamy and super refreshing. The smoothie contains lime pulp rather than just the juice and is sweetened with a little maple syrup. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack anytime.

    This raspberry avocado smoothie is a delicious and easy way to add more vegetables into your diet.  The smoothie is moderately sweet and super zesty and no one will know it contains a hidden vegetable!

    If you read my post from a few days ago you will know that wonky avocados have recently flooded the supermarkets in the UK.  As a result, I have several wonky avocados ripening on my windowsill in the kitchen.  I've been doing my best not to let them go to waste and today I am sharing my new avocado recipe.

    Creamy avocado smoothie recipe ingredients

    Avocado is an ideal smoothie ingredient, as it provides extra nutrients, is a great natural thickener and produces a silky smooth texture.  And you can't taste it at all in this avocado berry smoothie recipe!

    The smoothie is fruity and zingy thanks to the combination of raspberries and lime.  I used not just the juice of a lime but also the pulp so you can really taste this delicious fruit!  To peel the lime start by trimming both the top and bottom of the fruit. Place it on one end and slice the skin (along with the pith) downwards all the way around (see the photo below).  Then simply throw the peeled lime into the blender along with the other ingredients and make the smoothie!

    Lime makes a great pairing with both avocado as well as raspberries.  I've used all 3 in my raspberry avocado muffins recipe (see also my key lime cheesecake pie with avocado).

    How to make avocado raspberry smoothie

    This avocado berry smoothie takes seconds to make.  You can add a little less maple syrup to start with and add more, if needed, once you've pureed the ingredients.

    1. Place the ingredients in the blender and puree until silky smooth.

    2. Enjoy chilled.

    Top tips

    This raspberry smoothie makes a delicious easy breakfast idea as well as a refreshing, healthy snack.

    • Raspberries: Use either fresh or frozen. You can also add blackberries into the mixture if you like.
    • I used coconut water but almond or hazelnut milk would work too.
    • Sugar: I added a bit of maple syrup into the smoothie but you can use another sweetener, such as agave or rice syrup and honey (for a vegetarian option).
    • Storing: Store in a jar/bottle and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Shake before use.

      I haven't figured out what to love about avocados, but putting it in as a smoothie sounds pretty good. Thanks for joining Fiesta Friday

        Thanks! If you aren't crazy about avocado then this recipe is ideal, as you can't taste it at all:)

      This smoothie looks fabulous. We have a lot of smoothies. I love raspberries and avocado. I'm anxious to try lemon balm and Alpro Coconut Almond milk alternative. Pinned and shared. Thank you for sharing at Tasty Tuesdays. Since you like avocados so much I will be checking back to get some more recipes with avocados.

      This smoothie looks really pretty and refreshing! I also like to use lemon balm in smoothies, and my lemon balm wants to spread all over my garden too, like Angie said! 🙂 But I love the smell of it so I don't mind.

        Thank you! I wish some of my other herbs would spread like that too, for example basil - I've not had much luck in growing it.

      You really do love avocados, don't you? (Pretty sure I read it somewhere in one of your posts) I tend to think of avocados as an ingredient for savory things, but you've convinced me to look at them in a new light, thanks! Careful with that lemon balm. It spreads! It's pretty much taken over my garden! But it's aromatherapy in the garden, so maybe that's ok ?

        Thank you! I love to be thought of as convincing:) My lemon balm is in a pot (is that even considered gardening?) so it won't spread too much, and now you've told me that it likes to take over it's going to stay in the pot!

          Make sure you clip the seedheads coz they reseed like crazy. By that I mean, the seeds drop to the ground and start growing hundreds of more plants!

      Ooh, I'm loving the sound of this smoothie. I use lemon balm a lot as a tisane, but it pretty much ends there. I'm really excited at the idea of using it in a smoothie. I'm also now craving raspberries.

      It looks beautifully creamy and great minds clearly think alike as my last recipe was a also a drink containing pomegranate molasses! I'll have to try this combination next time.

        Thanks Corina, yes, I noticed the pomegranate molasses in your recipe too, and it was also a beverage so that's a major coincidence:)
