If you really miss the tropical taste in smoothies, then I suggest you add coconut milk instead of almond milk and get a wonderful tropical tasting berry smoothie. You can also add mango for that extra effect.

Speaking of berries, there are quite a lot of berries that you might want to add to your smoothie or even replace the raspberry in the original recipe. Strawberries, blackberries or blueberries could also make a great substitute for the raspberry and would give different tastes on its own.

Add a dash of lemon juice to any berry of your choice. Blend it up. Or you could even freeze it to make ice lollies to savor on a hot summer day!

People who follow a keto diet usually consume food that is low carb which burns fat easily. And they are always on the lookout for fruits that contain the least amount of sugar. Berries are a great option because they contain less sugar than their large and medium-sized counterparts.

So, if you are a person who watches a ketogenic diet, go ahead and try out smoothies with berries and avocado. I am sure you must have got a few ideas to try out from this article.

You could also incorporate berries into your green smoothies. That could obviously give a tangy twist to your otherwise bland and boring green smoothies. Green smoothies usually make for a nutritious and vitamin-packed breakfast but are seldom fun to have. Admit it! Add berries to it, and you would thank me for the tangy and interesting spin. Add almond milk to it and turns out to be an interesting blend which is nutritious and delicious at the same time.

Making a good smoothie won’t be possible without a good Blender, so I suggest you get yourself a high quality and good Blender.

In essence, it is all about having fun while making and drinking a smoothie. You might also have a go at the Red Detox Smoothie which is also highly nutritious and tastes great.
