Red & White Layered Smoothie Recipe

Today we’re back to a lovely Smoothie Recipe, as you all know I am always on the hunt for drink recipes but this one is a simple concoction I’ve devised by checking which fruits and juices I have on hand.

My Red and White Layered Smoothie is so pretty to look at and with Canada Day coming soon I know my Canadian readers will see how easily it fits the theme for any celebrations you may be planning. If you want a deep red colour for the first layer, just drop in a bit of red food colouring until you hit the shade you desire.

Red & White Layered Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

Red Layer: 

• 1 cup of ice
• 1 frozen banana, sliced
• 2 cups strawberries, halved
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice

White Layer:

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 cup of ice
• 1 cup of greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 frozen banana, sliced

Topping:

• 1/2 cup raspberries

Preparation:

Begin by preparing the Red Layer. Pour the pomegranate juice into the blender. Add in the strawberries, bananas and ice and blend until fully smooth.

Pour your red layer into the bottom of each glass, tap the glasses gently on the counter to help level out your smoothie.

Now place your glasses into the freezer to allow them to set while you’re working on the white layer.

White Layer:

Rinse out your blender and place the ice, banana, orange juice and greek yogurt into it. Bend until smooth and retrieve your cups from the freezer.

Gently scoop the white smoothie layer into the cups on top of the red layer, again tap the cup on the counter to level the contents. Rinse your blender and puree raspberries then drizzle them on top for a red swirl.

Your Red & White Layered Smoothie is ready to enjoy, or if you prefer a firmer smoothie simply place in the freezer to set until guests arrive.
