Frequently Asked Questions
Like other berries,raspberriescontain a wealth of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They’re one of the best berries for fiber, with 1 cup providing 8 grams. They’re also high in vitamin C. Eating raspberries may help relieve inflammation and support heart health and a healthy weight.
Coconut milk is made from the meat of mature coconuts. While coconut is high in saturated fat, the type of saturated fat in coconuts is made of medium-chain triglycerides—and evidence is unclear regarding their effect on the body. In other words, they might not be as harmful as other types of saturated fats. Unlike cow’s milk, coconut milk does not offer much in the way of protein, so if you want more protein in your smoothie—and want to keep it plant-based—consider adding a scoop ofvegan protein powderto your smoothie.
Spinachis a leafy green veggie that’s packed with nutrients. A 2-cup serving of spinach provides 16% of your daily vitamin C, 25% of your daily folate, 26% of your daily vitamin A and a whopping 200% of your daily vitamin K needs. The antioxidants and other nutrients in spinach can help calm inflammation and support eye, bone and skin health, as well as healthy blood pressure.
Absolutely. However, your smoothie might not be as cold or thick if you use fresh raspberries instead of frozen ones.
Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside the hollow of a young coconut. It is often used as a low-calorie, hydrating drink. It can be enjoyed as is or added to smoothies, cocktails and raw vegan desserts. Some people cook their rice with it. Be mindful of recipes that call for either coconut milk or coconut water because they’re not interchangeable. If you happen to use the wrong one, your recipe could suffer.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
