If you saw this recipe on my Instagram, then you might remember that this was my attempt at a red, white, and blue smoothie for the Fourth of July. However, things didn’t go as planned when it turned out to be purple, cream, and pink! *facepalm* Oh, well. It still tasted great and was pretty festive, so it’s ok. Right?? RIGHT? 😉 On a more serious note, layered smoothies are so easy to make, delicious, and super fun. Especially fun for the kiddos, and super healthy too! You can use whatever type of milk you prefer (whole, almond, soy, rice) and the same goes for the sweetener. 🙂

They certainly do look yummy… who cares if the layers aren’t exactly red, white and blue! As you said, they still looked festive. 🙂
Haha, thanks Rissi, I appreciate it. 🙂 Everyone liked them, and I know that’s what matters, BUT I would still like to figure out the great mystery that is blue and red smoothies. Lol!
Thanks for commenting and stopping by, as always. 🙂
