Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (225 g) frozen mixed berries
- 1 medium (about 100 g) frozen banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice
- 0.5 cup (120 g) yogurt
- 1 to 2 teaspoons (5–10 ml) maple syrup or honey, optional
- 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Have all frozen fruits and liquids ready. This ensures a smooth blending process.
- Blend First Layer: Combine 0.5 cup milk, 0.25 cup yogurt, 0.5 frozen banana, and 1 cup frozen strawberries. Blend until smooth and creamy (about 60 seconds). If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more milk.
- Pour And Clean Blender: Carefully pour this layer into your chosen glass, filling it halfway. Rinse your blender really well between layers to keep those vibrant colors separate; it makes such a difference for the presentation.
- Blend Second Layer: Now, combine the remaining 0.5 cup milk, 0.25 cup yogurt, 0.5 frozen banana, and 0.5 cup frozen mixed berries. Blend until velvety smooth (about 75 seconds), aiming for a thick, pourable texture.
- Layer And Serve: Gently pour the second berry blend over the first layer using the back of a spoon to create a distinct line. Enjoy this beautiful Sunset Berry Layered Glass smoothie immediately!
Notes
To make keto-friendly, use unsweetened almond milk, skip banana, add 0.25 avocado for creaminess, and use a sugar-free sweetener. For easy meal prep, portion frozen fruit into individual freezer bags. Use primarily frozen fruit for ideal coldness and thickness, as ice can dilute flavor. Skip added sweeteners if fruit is naturally sweet.
