The smoothie isn’t even sour and the raspberry’s flavor overpowers the banana flavor. Anyway, it’s a healthy delicious smoothie so definitely try it.
Raspberry Lemonade Smoothie Benefits

Drinking raspberry smoothies can help improve eye, skin, and bone health. Plus, they help with constipation and heart health.
