    Red, White and Blueberry Smoothie. Patriotic Indeed!


    The best way to kick off a hot and happy 4th of July weekend? A patriotic smoothie of course! This Red, White and Blueberry Smoothie brings together the flavors or ripe raspberry, acai, blueberry, fresh strawberry and coconut banana creamy fluff on top. Try out the recipe for this fun smoothie and cool off the healthy way…



    Firecracker Smoothie.
    I used to adore those red, white and blue firecracker Popsicles. The tangy flavors all layered on top of each other tasted like a day at the beach. So I decided I had to try out my favorite food (smoothies) in a similar firecracker red, white and blue colored recipe.

    Red, White and Blueberries. This smoothie combines ripe red frozen raspberries, fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, acai juice, frozen blueberries, banana, coconut and sweet vanilla soy milk. The top white layer is a soft a fluffy coconut banana cream. Yum!

    Red, White and Blueberry Smoothie
    vegan, makes 2-4 smoothies, depending on size.

    Red Layer:
    3/4 cup frozen raspberries
    1/2 frozen banana
    2 fresh strawberries
    1/2 cup coconut water ice cubes
    3/4 cup vanilla soy milk
    1 Tbsp agave syrup
    Blue Layer:
    1 cup frozen blueberries
    1 cup acai juice
    1/2 cup coconut water ice cubes
    1/4 cup fresh blueberries
    White Layer:
    1 frozen banana
    1 fresh banana
    1 cup vanilla soy milk
    1 Tbsp agave syrup
    3 Tbsp fine flaked coconut
    3/4 cup coconut water ice cubes
    Garnish:

    5 strawberries, sliced into rounds
    1/2 cup fresh blueberries
    pinches of coconut flakes

    Directions:
    First chill your serving glasses in the freezer.
    Cold glasses will help the layers stay separated better.
    First blend up the red layer.
    Add all the ingredients, but blend the fresh strawberries in last.
    Place the red smoothie into a container and place in freezer until needed.
    Next, blend up all the blue ingredients.
    Again, always blend the fresh fruit in last.
    Pour it into a separate container and place in freezer.
    Net, wash out your blender very well to create your white layer.
    Add all the white layer ingredients and blend until frothy and smooth.
    For a fluffier, icier white layer add more ice.

    Assembly:
    Now you can remove the red and blue layers from the freezer, as well as your frosted glasses and begin assembling the smoothies.
    Place enough red smoothie in each glass to fill 1/3 of the glass.
    On top of the red layer, place one thinly sliced strawberry round.
    Next, pour another 1/3 full amount of blue smoothie mix in each glass.
    Next, add 4-5 fresh blueberries on top of the blue layer.
    Next, spoon the white layer smoothie into the glass until it is filled to the brim.
    Garnish: Place a sprinkling of coconut, one blueberry and one strawberry slice in each glass.

    Serve with clear straws and enjoy!

    Tips:
    *The raspberry smoothie should blend up the thickest, aka heaviest. That is why it goes on the bottom. The white layer is the fluffiest and the blue is in between.
    *If you don’t have coconut water ice cubes, use regular ice cubes, but you may want to add an additional drop of agave in each blend and even a very small pinch of sea salt.
    *You can add some plain yogurt to either the raspberry or white layer-a nice healthy addition.
    *To get a bolder ed or blue color, use more of the fresh strawberries and blueberries. The tiny specks of fresh fruit bring out tru red and blue colors!

    What a yummy way to celebrate red, white and blue!

    …and yes I know it’s more like pink, purple and cream, but close enough! The taste makes up for the slightly off coloring. 🙂
