Ingredients
Scale
Green Smoothie Base
- 1 cup Kale
- 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
- 1 Banana
- 1/2 Pear
- 1/4 cup Milk
Blueberry Smoothie Layer
- 1/2 cup Frozen Blueberries
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- Ice, to taste
Instructions
- Blend the Green Smoothie Base: In a blender, combine 1 cup kale, 1/2 cup fresh spinach, 1 banana, 1/2 pear, and 1/4 cup milk until smooth. If you’re not using frozen fruit, add ice to achieve your desired consistency. Pour a little more than half of this mixture into a large cup or bowl, leaving the remainder in the blender.
- Prepare the Blueberry Layer: Add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries to the blender containing the leftover green smoothie. Blend until smooth to create the blue smoothie layer. Pour this mixture into a separate large cup or bowl.
- Add Chia Seeds and Chill: Divide 1 tablespoon of chia seeds equally into each smoothie and stir well. Place both mixtures in the refrigerator and allow them to chill and thicken for about 15 minutes.
- Create the Two-Toned Bowl: Slowly and simultaneously pour each smoothie into opposite sides of a serving bowl. This technique creates a striking two-toned visual effect. This recipe makes enough for two medium-sized bowls.
- Optional Toppings: Add fresh sliced fruit, nuts, and seeds on top as desired for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit instead of ice for a thicker smoothie texture without dilution.
- Substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Letting the smoothies chill with chia seeds allows them to thicken and enhances the texture.
- For a sweeter taste, opt for ripe bananas and pears or add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup as desired.
