  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the raspberries, spinach, coconut milk beverage, ice, dates, and vanilla extract into a blender. Ensure the blender jar is large enough to handle all the ingredients comfortably.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2 minutes or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy with no large chunks remaining.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add an additional Medjool date or adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Using fresh raspberries is possible but will result in a less thick and colder smoothie compared to frozen berries.
  • For added protein in a plant-based diet, consider adding a scoop of vegan protein powder.
  • Use coconut milk beverage from the carton rather than canned coconut milk for a lighter texture.
  • This smoothie is naturally free from added sugars, nuts, sesame, dairy, soy, and eggs, making it suitable for many dietary restrictions.
