HOW TO MAKE A GORGEOUS LAYERED MANGO STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE WITH NO BANANA!
I used my vitamix to get my thick layered mango strawberry smoothie, but I have also made thick smoothie recipes with other blenders. So make sure to read the tips below!
HOW DO YOU LAYER A SMOOTHIE?
If you want to layer your smoothie like the photograph, make sure to follow these instructions to get a three layer smoothie!
You can also put all your ingredients into a bowl, or blend everything together even the chia pudding! Either way, you get the same taste and all the benefits!
Layer 1: beet root chia pudding
First, make your chia pudding. This gives the chia time to "gel," and create that pudding-like texture. Many people don't stir their chia pudding enough, giving it a chunky texture.
Start by whisking in half of your milk to the chia seeds. Let the chia set a few minutes. Then, you will whisk it again to make sure it is evenly gelling. Pour in the rest of your milk and whisk again.
To get the purple color, add beet root powder. You can find it at most health food and grocery stores.
Pour the purple chia pudding into a glass or bowl. Set aside while we make our strawberry mango smoothie with frozen fruit.
Layer 2: mango strawberry smoothie without banana
Next, put all your frozen fruit along with the collagen in a blender. Start by blending just this and see what the texture looks like. If it is not getting creamy, add a splash of milk.
Minimal liquid and frozen fruit is key to a thick smoothie! If you don't care if your smoothie turns out super thick, add about ½ cup of milk and it will blend way faster!
Pour the strawberry mango smoothie on top of your chia pudding.
Layer 3: strawberry smoothie
For the final layer, blend frozen strawberries and a splash of flax milk! Do the same as above, adding milk as needed.
Pour your strawberry smoothie on top of your mango smoothie! Finally, you can add extra toppings like fresh fruit, granola, nuts, or a protein bar.
Hope you enjoy!
FAQ's
Frequently asked questions about my super thick layered strawberry mango smoothie recipe.
Can I make this smoothie without the chia on the bottom?
Yes! Simply leave the chia out, or, blend the chia and milk right into your smoothie for extra fiber and healthy fats.
How do I make my smoothie thinner?
Don't like a super thick smoothie or want something on the go? Simply add extra milk or coconut water till you get the consistency you like.
How do you get the smoothie so thick without falling over?
I use as little liquid as possible in my smoothies. This gives me a very thick texture that allows me to stack it so high!
How do you get the fruit to stick to the smoothie jar?
Slice fruit very thin. Stick it to the inside of the glass first. Then, add the chia pudding and smoothie layers, making sure that the fruit is pressed to the side of the glass.
The smoothie will keep the fruit in place after it is poured!
