Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen raspberries, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and pinch of fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use frozen raspberries to keep the smoothie cold without diluting it. For a vegan version, choose maple syrup and a plant-based milk.
