The red layer:
watermelon, strawberries, raspberries

The white layer:
Milk, ripe bananas, cashews (skip cashews if nut free)

The green layer:
Frozen mango, spinach leaves, half of the white layer mix

Directions:

To create a layered smoothie there isn’t really much to it, other than ensuring your smoothie blend has a thick texture. i.e. think a thick shake rather than a milkshake.

  1. In a blender combine the watermelon, strawberries and raspberries to create the red layer, set aside and rinse the blender for next stage
  2. In the blender combine the milk, ripe bananas and cashews (if using). Divide this mixture into two, rinse the blender for next stage
  3. In the blender combine the frozen mango, spinach leaves and half of the white layer mix
  4. In your glass layer the colours, top with fruit and enjoy.
