Creamy and full of raspberry goodness, this refreshing Raspberry Yogurt Drink (or smoothie) will keep you satisfied and grinning from ear to ear at the very first sip!
When I was a complaining pre-teen, my dad would often tell me, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” or, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” Ergo, I tried my best to curb my complaining. But, a girl’s gotta vent from time to time or she’s gonna blow – right? So, instead of “blowing up,” I decided I’d just run longer or (when my feet were too tired) walk. And, boy oh boy did I come to lurve my run/walks!
Of course, when I had a daughter of my own, and she became a complaining pre-teen, I would often find myself on the cusp of uttering my dad’s words. But, she wasn’t (and still isn’t) into running for mind de-befuddling like I was (and still am). As I understood the need for venting very well, we came up with a rule. If she had to vent, we would only do so on a walk around our neighborhood. I gotta say, I think she was the only 10 year old on our street who liked to walk so much!
However, as luck would have it, even when she didn’t have to vent, she would insist on a walk. And that habit stuck. Now, if she has to choose between walking or driving from point A to B, she picks walking 8 out of 10 times. That’s one of the reasons she loves New York so much – this summer when we were there, we walked an average of about 18-20 miles most days when we were in the city and she didn’t complain one bit.
Whether it be hiking through swampy, off road trails filled with deer, or walking the Atlanta Beltline or the bustling streets of NYC, walking has made it easier for my daughter (and me) to put into practice “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.“
This has been a hot summer here in Atlanta, and walking around becomes a whole lot more pleasurable when I know I can get home and whip up a cool and refreshing drink like this Raspberry Yogurt Drink. This drink happened by accident.
Clumsy me tore up the Emergen-C packet I had just purchased from Walmart, sending it right into my yogurt and voila! Fate intervened! Y’all, this drink is good. So.good. And, it is so easy to make with only has 4 ingredients: ice, yogurt, fresh raspberries and Emergen-C Raspberry! The fresh raspberries and Emergen-C made this sweet enough for me that I didn’t need to add any other sweetener to it – just a straw to get it into my belly! I whipped up some aquafaba or chickpea juice and topped these Raspberry Yogurt Drinks with it. I’d been using chickpea juice in curries and dips for no other reason than just because it was there. But, then Lindsay of Cotter Crunch introduced me to the wonders of whipped aquafaba! Mind blown!
So,
Would you rather drive or walk 5 miles?
Complain or cover up?
Eat your yogurt or drink it?

Like mother, like daughter :-))
The drink looks beautiful with that girly pinky colour!
Your daughter sounds like younger Shashi! Your Dad sounded like a wise man. I hope that pre-teen complaining won’t last so long. 😉 This pink, and creamy raspberry yogurt drink looks so beautiful and refreshing. I am sure this would satisfy me. Have a lovely weekend.Creamy and full of raspberry goodness, this refreshing Raspberry Yogurt Drink (or smoothie) will keep you satisfied and grinning from ear to ear at the very first sip!
Ah, lil Shashi! I love the walk & talks. I used to have a neighbor in Baton Rouge who would do walk & talks with me. We’d usually talk about our dating lives…or lack thereof…but it was still venting in a way. And I have such fond memories of those walk & talks! This drink sounds amazing, my friend. I love how easy it is to make, too. I’m thinking mix one of these bad boys up in a tumbler and take it with me on the next walk & talk! 🙂 Have a great weekend, both of you!
Walking is probably my favourite thing to do EVER, so I’d definitely choose to walk to 5 miles… especially if I was in a place like NYC where there’s so much to look at. Heck, even if I wasn’t… I love walking. I’ve actually gotten into the habit of walking on the treadmill while I’m working on the computer to prevent myself from s sitting s much for long periods of time. And I’ve gotta say… I can’t believe how much better I feel since I started!
I love this idea! My kids love to walk (and run) but it might be a great idea to start this one-on-one so that they can vent and just chatter on about their day without a sibling interrupting them! This drink looks so delicious and a perfect way to end a great walk! #client
Don’t you just love it when “accidents” turn into something so wonderful as this raspberry yogurt drink? I need to try this soon! Ahh, yes, the wonders of whipped aquafaba are AHHmazing! Love that you added it here! Thanks for the shout-out!
These pictures turned out gorgeous! You’ve definitely made me thirsty.
There’s nothing quite like a run to de-stress! I’m personally a fan of swimming–there’s just something about the lack of noise and nothing to focus on but the water that calms me every time. And I seriously LOVE the idea of this drink–how creative! I might need to try it right now–I’m recovering from a cold and have so much Emergen-C around 🙂
This creamy raspberry yogurt drink looks so refreshing. I really loved the color of it. Lovely share Shashi 🙂
Just in time for the cold and flu season. I just adore the fact that happy accidents occur. A delicious treat and perfect energizer after a long walk….(discussion)…walk…Just pinned!
Mmmm… this looks like a great and refreshing raspberry smoothie and all that vitamin C!!! So good for you. So, for the record, I’d rather walk. But time often prevents that. I especially like walking on the beach. My fave place to walk of all time. My sister-in-law just got a beach house about 45 min. away on Old Salisbury Beach and I am SO excited, visited it Friday for the first time. Spending Columbus Day weekend there and planning lots of beach walks (hope the snow isn’t flying yet…you just never know around here) and you got me thinking about it already!!! Hope you and G are having a fabulous weekend. XO
What a tasty Raspberry yogurt! Thanks for share it Shashi.
