Ingredients

For the Green Smoothie Layer:

1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup baby kale leaves
1/2 banana, sliced (use a large, ripe banana here)
1 and 1/2 cups SILK unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Spirulina (optional, but recommended)

For the Strawberry Smoothie Layer:

1 heaping cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 banana, sliced (use the other half of the banana from the green smoothie)
1 and 1/2 cups SILK unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)

Instructions

For the Green Smoothie Layer:

Blend the green layer:
Place all of the ingredients for the green smoothie (pineapple, mango, spinach, kale, banana, coconut milk, lime juice, and spirulina) in the blender. Pulse until smooth, adding a little more coconut milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.

For the Strawberry Smoothie Layer:

Blend the strawberry layer:
Place all of the ingredients for the strawberry smoothie (strawberries, pineapple, banana, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and turmeric) in the blender. Pulse until smooth, again adding coconut milk as needed to thin the mixture.

Assembly:

Layer the smoothies:
Fill each glass halfway with the green smoothie mix, then gently pour the strawberry smoothie mix on top, filling the glass. Pour the strawberry layer gently to allow it to float on top of the green layer.
Serve and enjoy:
Add straws, serve immediately, and enjoy the vibrant, skin-loving goodness!

Storage:

Refrigeration: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The layers may mix together, so just give it a good shake before drinking!
Freezing: You can freeze the smoothie mixture in freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays for later use. Thaw in the fridge overnight or blend frozen cubes directly for a cold, thick smoothie.

Variations:

Add more greens: Boost the green layer with additional spinach, kale, or even some avocado for extra creaminess and nutrients.
Supercharge with collagen: Add a scoop of collagen powder to support skin elasticity and joint health.
Dairy-free alternative: If you prefer a different dairy-free milk, you can substitute the coconut milk with almond, cashew, or oat milk.

FAQs

Can I skip the spirulina?
Yes, spirulina is optional, but it adds a great boost of nutrients, including protein, iron, and antioxidants, which can support your skin. If you don’t have it, you can omit it or replace it with chlorella or a green powder supplement.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
While smoothies are best when freshly made, you can prep the layers in advance. Store them in separate containers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to serve, just layer and enjoy!

Can I use frozen fruit for both layers?
Absolutely! Using all frozen fruit will give your smoothie a thicker texture and a colder, more refreshing taste.
