Directions

  • In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients for the cherry smoothie layer until smooth. Pour that into a glass jar and store it in the fridge while you prepare the second layer.

  • Assemble the smoothie. 
  • Pour the thick cherry layer to fill out half your glass. 
  • Use a ladle and gradually add a ladle full of the mango smoothie one at a time over the cherry smoothie layer to fill the cup. 
  • You’ll see the layers slowly disintegrate and swirl into a beautiful blend of both layers.

  • To freeze the smoothie, it’s best to freeze each layer separately in an ice cube tray. 
  • Defrost and blend them together for the smoothie or enjoy them frozen for a quick treat! 
  • Enjoy!!
