Red, White, & Blue Berry Banana Smoothie

This Red, White, and Blue Berry Banana Smoothie is as healthy as it is patriotic. Filled with organic fruit, almondmilk, and flax, it is a perfect way to start the day and your kids will love the stripes!

I love using frozen organic fruit because:

1. it is frozen at its peak freshness
2. it is available year round
3. it is generally less expensive than fresh organic fruit, especially when out of season
4. it is great in smoothies!

This smoothie is made with three separate layers, but you are welcome to just blend all of the ingredients together at once if you are in a hurry! But it sure is super cute all separated out into individual colors, right?! And cute goes pretty far when it comes to getting my toddler to devour fruits and veggies. She especially liked this pink cookie dough and these super pink strawberry ombre creamsicles!

So what’s in the layers?

RED: frozen organic strawberries, raspberry acai juice (but any juice will work), and a bit of honey.

WHITE: frozen organic banana, fresh banana, unsweetened vanilla almondmilk (but any milk will work), and a few ice cubes.

BLUE: frozen organic blueberries, unsweetened vanilla almondmilk, and ground flax.
