Ingredients
For the Mango Layer:
-
1 cup frozen mango chunks
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1/2 cup orange juice or coconut milk
-
1 tsp honey or agave nectar (optional)
For the Raspberry Layer:
-
1 cup frozen raspberries
-
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
-
1/2 banana (frozen works best for creaminess)
-
A squeeze of fresh lime juice
For the Topping:
-
Fresh raspberries
-
A few slices of fresh mango
-
A sprig of mint (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Raspberry Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen raspberries, milk, banana, and lime juice. Blend until completely smooth and thick. If the mixture is too thin, add a few more frozen berries. Pour this into a separate bowl and set aside (or rinse the blender).
-
Prepare the Mango Layer: Add the mango chunks, yogurt, juice, and sweetener to the blender. Blend until creamy and golden. You want this to be a similar consistency to the raspberry layer so they don’t mix too quickly when poured.
-
Create the Swirl Effect: To achieve the look in the photo, tilt your serving glass slightly. Pour a large portion of the raspberry mixture into the bottom. Gently spoon or pour the mango mixture over the top. Use a long spoon or a straw to gently swirl the two colors together—be careful not to over-mix, or it will turn a solid orange-pink!
-
Garnish and Serve: Top the smoothie with a generous handful of fresh raspberries and a fan of sliced mango. Add a colorful straw and enjoy immediately while chilled.
Pro Tip
For the most defined layers, place the glass in the freezer for 5 minutes after pouring the first layer. This firms it up just enough to support the second layer on top!
