Simply Satisfying – CANADA DAY red & white layered Smoothie

canada2FUN & FESTIVE for FAMILY and FRIENDS
This Smoothie recipe canada1is not only very pretty to look at but it tastes good, takes little time to prepare and is the perfect drink for a Canada Day celebration.
You can turn it into a cocktail by adding a bit of vodka to the mix.  If you want a deeper red colour for the first layer, just drop in a bit of red food colouring until you hit the shade you desire.
Prep time:  10 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • Red Layer:
  • 1 cup of ice
  • 1 frozen banana, sliced
  • 2 cups strawberries, halved
  • ½ cup pomegranate juice
  • White Layer:
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 cup of ice
  • 1 cup of greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 frozen banana, sliced
  • Topping:
  • ½ cup raspberries
 Instructions
  1. Red Layer:
  2. Pour the pomegranate juice into the blender. Add in the strawberries, bananas and ice and blend until fully smooth.
  3. Pour your red layer into the bottom of each glass, tap the glasses gently on the counter to help level out your smoothie.
  4. Now place your glasses into the freezer to allow them to set while you’re working on the white layer.
  5. White Layer:
  6. Rinse out your blender and place the ice, banana, orange juice and greek yogurt into it. Bend until smooth and retrieve your cups from the freezer.
  7. Gently scoop the white smoothie layer into the cups on top of the red layer, again tap the cup on the counter to level the contents.
  8. Topping: Rinse your blender and puree raspberries then drizzle them on top for a red swirl.

TIP:  If you want to make this for Independence Day on 4th of July – use blueberries instead of raspberries for the topping.
