Ingredients

• White chocolate chips: provide the signature creamy sweetness and blend smoothly if you melt them first Choose a high quality chocolate for better flavor
• Raspberry Greek yogurt: gives tanginess and protein plus keeps the texture extra creamy Look for one with no artificial flavors or colors
• Frozen raspberries: add bright fruity flavor and keep the smoothie cold and thick Pick plump and vibrant berries for the best flavor and color
• Milk of your choice: brings everything together Creamy dairy or plant milk both work well Select fresh tasting milk for a clean base

Step-by-Step Instructions

Melt the White Chocolate:

Place white chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl and heat for about thirty seconds then stir until completely melted and glossy Let cool briefly so it doesn’t seize up when blended with cold ingredients

Combine in Blender:

Add melted white chocolate raspberry Greek yogurt frozen raspberries and milk to a high speed blender Make sure to scrape in every bit of the melted chocolate Start blending on low and gradually up the speed to high for an ultra smooth finish

Blend Until Smooth:

Blend all ingredients thoroughly until you see no chunks and the mixture looks thick and creamy Give the blender jar a shake if ingredients are sticking Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed

Serve:

Pour the finished smoothie into a tall glass If you like add a few more raspberries or a swirl of extra yogurt on top for a special touch Enjoy immediately while it is icy cold and full of bright berry flavor

My favorite part is those sweet pockets of white chocolate If you blend just barely it leaves little melted chocolate flecks that make every sip exciting One time we even made heart shapes with yogurt as a little surprise for my kids

Storage Tips

This smoothie is meant to be enjoyed right after blending for the best frosty texture If you do need to make it ahead blend and keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to one day Just give it a good shake before drinking The texture will become thinner as it sits so add a few ice cubes and reblend if re-chilling

Ingredient Substitutions

You can use vanilla Greek yogurt for even more dessert flair or go for plain if you want the fruit to shine If using fresh raspberries be sure to add a generous scoop of ice to keep the smoothie nice and thick Oat or almond milk work beautifully in place of cow’s milk If you want more protein stir in a scoop of your favorite vanilla or plain protein powder

Serving Suggestions

Pour into a glass and top with extra berries a sprinkle of chopped white chocolate or even a little whipped cream for a cafe style treat Serve in a fancy glass or tuck a gold straw in for festive flair It is also great poured into small cups for snacktime or shared over a brunch table with waffles or croissants
