Notes

To store, freeze smoothie mixture in an ice cube tray overnight. Store for up to 3 months in a sealed freezer bag. Transfer a few cubes to a blender and add 1/2-1 cup milk (or orange juice) and blend to serve.
Add 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 teaspoon chia seeds, or a handful raw cauliflower or baby spinach to add nutrition to this smoothie.

And to vary the flavors in this smoothie, try:

Raspberry-Mango Smoothie: Replace the banana with frozen diced mango.
Raspberry-Orange Smoothie: Replace the milk with orange juice.
Raspberry-Avocado Smoothie: Add 2 tablespoons fresh or frozen avocado.
Raspberry-Chocolate Smoothie: Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and increase the maple syrup to 1 tablespoon.
Raspberry-Blueberry Smoothie: Replace the banana with frozen blueberries.
