Creamy Raspberry, Coconut & Chia Shake

Jump to RecipePrint Recipe

Breakfast? Dessert? Both? I’ll let you be the judge, because I honestly can’t decide. Although this creamy raspberry, coconut & chia shake leans toward the sweeter side of the flavor spectrum, I would happily welcome its rosy hues to my breakfast table.

Frozen raspberries are blended with a hearty dollop of rich coconut cream, almond milk, medjool dates, chia seeds, and a splash of vanilla. The coconut cream and chia seeds thicken and offer a shake-like quality, the dates lend sweetness, and the vanilla provides that extra something special.

The result is a silky-smooth, pink-hued shake with just enough sweetness to balance out the tart notes from the raspberry.

This recipe makes enough for two snack-sized shakes but could easily be single-strawedly devoured. The only judgment for the latter endeavor? That you’re pretty darn awesome.

    I needed to use up some raspberries so I searched your site for a smoothie to do the trick! The coconut and raspberry combo is very good. I didn’t have coconut milk so I used coconut cream instead, making it extra luscious. Perfect smoothie on this warm summer day ☀️
