Righteous Raspberry Cocoa Smoothie

We know a raspberry is a beautiful little berry—a superfood full of antioxidants. But do you know another definition of raspberry? Derived from British comedy, it is also a term for the noise you make when you press your lips together and blow. The added avocado will not only lend a healthy fat to this drink, but also an enjoyable creaminess.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla bean
