There is nothing like waking up in the morning to enjoy a creamy smoothie to get your day started. Some tips for making the thickest and creamiest smoothie are the following:
- Make sure the fruit is frozen!! This is what gives you that ice cream-like texture

Tips For Making Raspberry Creamsicle Smoothies:
Some extra tips to help you get the best raspberry creamsicle smoothie are:
- Bananas that are extra ripe! Now normally if you go to eat a banana you might not think to grab the one with any brown spots. However, these bananas are AMAZING for smoothies because they not only blend very well, but you will get the creamiest smoothie.
- Freezing your bananas is always my preferred way to enjoy a smoothie. The frozen bananas will help with the consistency of the recipe. Wait! Before you freeze your bananas, make sure to peel them because if you don’t they will be super hard to take off.
- Do you want your smoothie to be sweeter? If you answered yes, you can use some honey or sugar to add to the creamsicle smoothie. I prefer to enjoy the recipe as is because the sweetness is nice and delicate and doesn’t overpower the flavor.
Can You Use Fresh Raspberries Instead Of Frozen Ones?
I prefer using frozen raspberries for this smoothie recipe. However, it is ok to use fresh raspberries as well.
