MogoBlog MogoLicious Tasty Tip of the Day:  This recipe combines the sweet flavors from bananas, and cherries, with the slightly tart flavors from the raspberries and blueberries and spinach, which is perfectly disguised in the blueberry layer- no one will know!

Red White and Blue Smoothie

 Ingredients for the Red Layer:

    • 2 bananas, frozen
    • 1- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
    • 1 cup blueberries, frozen
    • 2 cups spinach, fresh
    • 1/2 cup raspberries, frozen
    • 1/2 cup cherries, frozen
    • zest of lemon
    • shredded coconut, to garnish

Instructions:

    1. Simply blend in a Vitamix/high speed blender the ingredients for each layer below.
    2. Blue Layer // Blend spinach and blueberries together until smooth (use coconut milk to achieve the desired thickness/thinness)
    3. Red Layer // Blend raspberries and cherries together until smooth (use coconut milk to achieve the desired thickness/thinness).
    4. White Layer // Blend frozen banana and zest of lemon until smooth (use coconut milk to achieve the desired thickness/thinness).
    5. ASSEMBLY:
    6. Alternate the blue Layer with the white Layer until all is used. The last layer will be only red.
    7. Garnish with unsweetened shredded coconut flakes!
    8. ENJOY!

Notes:

    • It’s important to blend the following ingredients separately to have the “stripe effect”.
    • After making each layer, keep it in the freezer (in their separate bowls) so it will not melt and assembling the layers after all are made.
