3-Layer Fruit Smoothie

3-Layer Fruit Smoothie

This 3-Layer Fruit Smoothie is not only visually stunning with its vibrant colors, but it's also packed with fruity goodness. Each layer is a different flavor profile, creating a refreshing and healthy smoothie that's perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

For the Bottom Layer (Berry Layer):

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

For the Middle Layer (Mango Layer):

  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • ½ cup coconut water (or any juice of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave (optional)

For the Top Layer (Banana Layer):

  • 1 ripe banana
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)
  • ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter (optional, for added creaminess)

Instructions

1. Blend the Berry Layer:

In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, blueberries, almond milk, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

2. Layer in Glass:

Carefully pour the berry mixture into a glass, filling it about one-third of the way. You can use the back of a spoon to gently spread it to the edges for an even layer.

3. Blend the Mango Layer:

Rinse out the blender and blend the frozen mango chunks, coconut water (or juice), and sweetener (if using) until smooth. Add this layer on top of the berry layer, pouring slowly to avoid mixing the layers.

4. Blend the Banana Layer:

Blend the banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and peanut butter (if using) until smooth and creamy. Add this final layer on top of the mango layer, again pouring gently.

5. Serve and Garnish:

Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes if you prefer it extra cold. Garnish with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of chia seeds or granola for added texture.

Tips and Variations

  • Customization: Swap the fruit layers based on what’s in season or what you have available. Try pineapple or peaches in place of mango, or add a greens layer (spinach or kale) for an added nutrient boost.
  • Texture: Add a scoop of protein powder or flax seeds to increase the nutritional value.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, maple syrup, or stevia depending on your preference.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate: This smoothie is best served fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing: You can also freeze the individual layers separately, then blend them together later for a quick smoothie.

This 3-Layer Fruit Smoothie is as delicious as it is beautiful, and it’s an excellent way to enjoy a variety of fruits and flavors in one drink! 🥭🍓🍌
