Red White and Blue Smoothie – The Smoothies 101


Recipes > Berry > Red White and Blue

This smoothie was created in preparation for July 4th celebrations. Basically it is three layers, each with a different smoothie recipe. The red is mostly a strawberry mix, white focuses on vanilla and banana notes, and blue is chock-full of blueberries. The colors were somewhat difficult to get using only ingredients I would regularly put into my smoothies. If you want more color pop you could try adding food coloring. You can either layer them like in the picture, or you can serve the colors separately and let everyone enjoy whichever flavor they desire most.
