Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen strawberries
- 1 Banana
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 cup Frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Kiwi
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients by cutting the banana and kiwi into small pieces.
Start with the red layer: In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, half a banana, and 1/3 cup orange juice. Blend until smooth. Pour the red layer evenly into two tall glasses and set them in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
Next, make the yellow layer: Rinse the blender, then blend the frozen mango chunks, the second half of the banana, and 1/3 cup almond milk until smooth. Remove the glasses from the freezer and gently pour the yellow layer over the red layer, using a spoon to help layer it gently. Return the glasses to the freezer for another 5 minutes.
Finally, create the green layer: Rinse the blender again, then blend the fresh spinach, kiwi, honey (if using), and the remaining almond milk (about 2/3 cup). Blend until smooth and vibrant green. Pour the green layer gently over the yellow layer in each glass.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy the beautiful, refreshing Traffic Light Smoothie!
