This time I have for you a funky looking drink which should appeal to both kids and adults. All we have in the glasses are pure fruits, nothing else, nothing less… just fruit.
So what do we need?
Well, you will need some fruits, a blender, two empty 200ml glasses and a little bit of patience 🙂
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 200g strawberries
- 2 ripe kiwi
Method:
Well, there isn’t a lot to it… you blend each type of fruit, one at the time and slowly add them into your glasses.
I started with bananas as they are the heaviest (I think), then the strawberries and finally kiwi on top.
The trick is to add your blended fruit into the glasses very slowly, otherwise the new fruit puree goes in the middle of the glass and all you can see from the outside is the bottom layer rising up… no funky looking layers at all.
So, just like I said before, be patient and take your time.
Second thing to remember is to wash or at least rinse your blender after each type of fruit, so there is no old colour or bits transferring into the new fruit layer.
I like to drink it without mixing it up. Using a straw I start with the sweet banana, going into fresh strawberries and finishing my drink on a slightly sourer note with the sharp kiwi. Mark, on the other hand prefers to stir it well and drink once all fruit flavours are well mixed.
I am going to experiment with some other fruits and maybe I can create an even better looking set of colourful layers.
I really wish I had a cold press juicer to play with but for this moment I only have a blender so I am a little bit restricted as to what I can do.
Top Tip: If you blend to many fruits and they simply do not fit into your glasses, pour them into an ice cream mould to create a pure fruit ice popsicle – they are truly an amazing refreshment on these long hot sunny days!
What do you think about my triple coloured fruit smoothie?
Do you like the idea?
These look beautiful and as you say would make a brilliant popsicle.
These look fab! Love the tip for getting loads of fruit in a smoothie 🙂
Love the idea of layering them! Otherwise, it would be…brown. Not too appetizing then! I shared this at my link party, #FoodandFitnessFriday, over the weekend. I hope you will stop by some Friday and add more of your healthy posts!
These colors are great! Having a juicer is great- but you really don’t want both appliances out at once! I actually use my blender so much more often than my juicer.
So pretty and I love that you didn’t add any sugar or anything else! Fruit is perfect as is!
Now this is smart! Love the colours and fruits you picked 🙂
This looks amazing, so summery - I am going to have to try this!
How easy and pretty! Gorgeous presentation! A great drink for weekday morning rush. 🙂
This looks gorgeous! I am amazed at how well you managed to keep the layers separated! I tried this once and everything mingled into each other!
As long as you add it very slowely, the layers will form nicely 🙂
I never thought about layering smoothies, this is such a great idea! It would be perfect for a theme party and picking fruit that fit the color theme!
This looks delicious. I will give it a try. Beautiful photos
Thank you 🙂
How nice and cool! Love the 3ple layer, can’t wait to they this at home!
We aren’t having much of a summer here atm (rain rain and more rain) so seeing something that looks so bright and summerly is delightful! The straws are so cute!
The colors!!!! I am soooo in love with how beautiful, healthy and easy this is…
Perfect for those summery days….
These look amazing! I like all your tips. I can’t wait to try these with my children.
Mmm these look delicious and so, so summery! Definitely giving these a go!
That looks so pretty and summery! Fab! x
This looks so great! My kids would love it. Kaz x
This looks so pretty and great for the Summer . R
SO lovely! I am the type that drinks smoothies with my eyes closed. I should try the multi-coloured approach to make myself drink more of them 🙂
