Ingredients
Method
- Add the milk, yogurt, raspberries, peach, chia seeds, and optional honey or maple syrup to a blender.
- Blend for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.
- Add ice if you want a colder, thicker drink, then blend again briefly.
- Taste the smoothie. Add a little more milk for a thinner consistency or a few extra raspberries for a brighter berry flavor.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. For a thicker texture, let it rest for five minutes before serving so the chia seeds can hydrate.
- Yield: 2 small servings or 1 large smoothie

Notes
Raspberries and peaches contribute fruit, fluid, potassium, and naturally occurring plant compounds. Raspberries are particularly useful in this recipe because they add noticeable flavor without requiring much added sweetener.
Chia seeds are small but concentrated. They provide fiber and plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, and they absorb liquid as they sit. If you are not used to eating much fiber, begin with one teaspoon of chia seeds and increase gradually. Also, drink enough fluids throughout the day. People with swallowing difficulties should ask a healthcare professional before using dry chia seeds, because they expand when mixed with liquid.
This smoothie is not intended to replace a varied diet or to treat a medical condition. Anyone managing diabetes, food allergies, kidney disease, or a medically prescribed diet should consider the full ingredient list and adjust the recipe with a qualified healthcare professional.
Frozen raspberries and peach slices make the smoothie cold and creamy without relying on much ice.
