Colorful Three Layered Fruit Smoothie

A nice twist on a fruit smoothie is to make it with three colorful layers. Each one can highlight the flavor of the individual fruits in it. The presentation of a three layered smoothie is quite enticing and unique.

Three Layered Fruit SmoothieYou can choose any fruit you prefer for this type of thick beverage. The recipe here is for a pink, white, and blue smoothie, using strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. It is simple, cold and refreshing on a hot summer day.

There is no dairy or added sugar in the recipe, just the sweetness of the fruit.

Nutritional Value

Blueberries and strawberries are considered super foods. The amounts in the recipe provide us with our recommended daily amount of vitamin C. They are also a great source of disease fighting antioxidants. Blueberries contain heart healthy resveratrol.

Bananas are an excellent source of dietary fiber. They also provide us with minerals, such as copper, magnesium, and manganese.

Beautiful colors on the smoothieThis will easily make 2 filling smoothies. Using frozen fruit will help to make each component thicker. Use unsweetened milk, as the fruit provides plenty of sweetness. You can find coconut milk beverages in the non-dairy milk section of your market. Feel free to substitute almond milk or a milk blend.
