Refreshing, vibrant, and subtly sweet — this raspberry blueberry smoothie is a wonderful way to start your day. Packed with tangy berries, creamy Greek yogurt, and a touch of honey, it’s a quick and delicious breakfast (or snack) you’ll want on repeat.
This blueberry and raspberry smoothie is so deliciously satisfying, filling but not too heavy. One reason it's so satisfying is because it is THICK! The thick and creamy texture is obtained by using frozen raspberries and blueberries, plus Greek yogurt and just enough milk to blend everything together.
And because this smoothie recipe has milk and Greek yogurt, it has a good amount of protein, which will also help you feel satisfied in the morning.
You can make this "berry" delicious smoothie in only about 5 minutes, with 4 - 5 basic ingredients. The fifth ingredient is honey, which is optional depending on how sweet you like your smoothie!

Ingredient notes
- Milk: I used low fat cow's milk, but to make a vegan smoothie, you can substitute your favorite non-dairy milk.
- Greek yogurt: again, if you want to make a vegan version of this smoothie, try using a vegan "Greek-style" yogurt.
- Honey: if you don't want to use honey but still want to sweeten the smoothie, try adding agave syrup or date syrup.
- Frozen blueberries: if you can find them, I recommend using frozen wild blueberries because they have a more concentrated blueberry flavor. But, any kind of frozen blueberry will taste delicious!

Step by step photos
Here is how to make this creamy raspberry and blueberry smoothie recipe, step by step.
- Step 1: Add all the smoothie ingredients into the blender container.
- Step 2: Blend until all the ingredients are smooth.
- Step 3: Pour the smoothie into a glass. You will need a 12-ounce (or larger) glass to fit the entire smoothie.
- Step 4: Garnish with any toppings you like (here I used granola), and enjoy immediately.
Tips and tricks
- If using a full-sized blender, such as my favorite Vitamix (affiliate link), start by blending the smoothie on low speed until the chunks of berries start to catch, then increase the speed to high. Blend just until the smoothie is fully blended.
- If using a smaller blender such as the Nutribullet (affiliate link), that doesn't have various speeds, begin by using the pulse function. After several pulses, when the berries have started to break up, then blend with the continuous setting, just until the smoothie is fully blended.
Sweet as honey!
If you're not sure how much honey to add to the smoothie, you can start with a little less, and then taste the smoothie. If it's not sweet enough, just drizzle some more in and give the smoothie another quick blitz.
- This smoothie is quite thick, so if you need a little help to get the blender going, I suggest using a tamper tool (affiliate link) to help agitate the ingredients while blending.
- When using a small blender like the Nutribullet, instead of the tamper tool, you can remove the blender jar (with lid still on!) and give it a good shake to help break up any stuck ingredients.
- If needed, you can always add an additional splash of milk to the blender to help get things going.
Bump up the protein!
This raspberry blueberry smoothie recipe contains approximately 17 grams of protein, from the Greek yogurt and milk. (The exact amount may vary depending on the yogurt brand.)
If you want even more protein in your smoothie, you can add 1 - 2 scoops of protein powder. I've had the best luck incorporating the protein powder by blending the milk and protein powder together first, then blending in the other ingredients.
Recipe FAQs
You can make this raspberry blueberry smoothie with fresh, not frozen raspberries and blueberries. However, the texture of the smoothie will be much thinner. If you want to use fresh berries, you can throw in a few ice cubes to help thicken up the smoothie.
I like using low-fat Greek yogurt for smoothies because it is nice and thick and adds a good amount of protein and creaminess. Or, you can use Skyr, which is an Icelandic yogurt that is similar in texture to Greek yogurt.
If you would like, you can use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain, such as vanilla or berry. You may want to add less honey if using a sweetened yogurt.
You can also use regular yogurt (not Greek) for the smoothie, but the texture of the smoothie will be thinner. If using regular instead of Greek yogurt, you could try adding in a little less milk at first, and adding in more as needed to help the smoothie blend.
Adding garnish is a fun way to add more texture and visual interest to the smoothie. I like to garnish this smoothie with granola and more frozen raspberries and blueberries. You can also garnish the smoothie with some chopped almonds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, or pumpkin seeds.
This smoothie is also thick enough that you could turn it into a smoothie bowl, giving you so much more surface area to fill with various toppings!
