Did you know that raspberries are one of lowest sugar fruits? They are also high in fiber to keep you satisfied. Pair them with rich coconut cream and a little high-protein tofu, and you’ve got a quick breakfast or afternoon refresher that won’t let you down. This coconut raspberry smoothie even boasts a little extra coconut flavor for a tropical vibe. Plus, it’s a great alternative to the dairy-full, high-sugar smoothies sold at most juice bars.
