Here is a Fourth of July Smoothie for y'all! This tri-colored smoothie is so easy to make and healthy too!I was going for the colors of the American Flag but the blue didn't work out the way I had planned.It tastes great though. I had fun making and photographing it. I hope you have fun making it too.It is a fun activity to do with your kids, they'll enjoy making it with you!
You can make a big batch in a pitcher or make individual one like I have made.The trick is to use lots of ice so that the mixture is thick and the layers stay separate.I used my Nutribullet but you can use your blender of course.
I made three separate smoothies , rinsed the blender with cold water every time I made one. And then layered them.
This Recipe will yield Three Glasses.If you are making a large pitcher then triple the Recipe.
