And it sort of worked because I started actually writing instead of staring at the screen. But then I got distracted again when a racoon came loping across the back pasture, then rambled around our back porch just a few feet from where I’m sitting right now. So of course I picked up my phone and took a quick video of him, which then led to even more distraction. I mean… I’ve never had a great attention span, but I might want to work on this a little! Anyways, distracting racoons not withstanding, let’s talk about this super fun smoothie. I went with 2-toned colors mostly because it makes for great presentation. They’re visually appealing to look at, so it’s the type of recipe I like to make for brunches and bridal/baby showers. Making a 2-toned smoothie is actually very easy, so no worries there. You simply blend the yellow layer, pour some out into glasses. Then you add the berries to the remaining smoothie and blend again – super simple. This smoothie makes the best of the last good citrus, and the first berries of spring. I had some fresh mango, but not quite enough for the whole smoothie, so I added in frozen as well. Either way works great, and frozen mango definitely has the edge on convenience. For the yellow layer, I added a small amount of turmeric just for extra benefits, but you can leave it out if you’d like. After you blend the yellow layer, pour some into your choice of glasses or mason jars. Then you add the berries and blend again, creating the pink layer for the top. If you want to create some smoothies with pink on the bottom and yellow on the top, pour the yellow smoothie into a separate container. Then after blending the pink layer, you have 2 containers of smoothie to layer as you please. For a final added touch, I like to sprinkle on hemp seeds or bee pollen, and add a slice of strawberry on top. 5 from 4 reviews
