RECIPE * Double layer green smoothie | BANANA KIWI BABY SPINACH

Hello everybody,
Happy new year ! as always when new year comes a lot of new year's resolutions start to pop up. Living a healthier lifestyle is usually one of them, but really how many of us succeed with this one ? :D So today I'm bringing you one of my green smoothies. It's a double layer banana, kiwi smoothie with a little bit of baby spinach. I promise you, you won't even notice the baby spinach in it.


For this recipe you will need:

1 frozen banana
2 frozen kiwi
a handful of baby spinach
150 ml of 0% greek yogurt (you can use a normal one also)
60 ml of milk
honey, agave or other sweetener to taste (optional)

As you may guessed there's a little preparation to do in advance with this recipe, first of all peel all of your fruits and cut them in to small pieces and put them in the freezer.(believe me it's easier to cut it now then when it's frozen) :D leave it in the freezer for couple hours depending on your freezer's temperature.

Now let's get to the fun part. First we're going to make the banana layer. Combine 1 frozen banana, 125 ml of your greek yogurt and 30 ml of milk in your blender. Mix until smooth, it may take couple minutes to get to the desired consistency but eventually you'll get to it.

For the kiwi layer, you're going to mix your frozen kiwi fruit, a handful of baby spinach or another vegetable that you have at hand. Add the rest of your greek yogurt and 30 ml of milk. Because this layer will be a little sour and not as sweet as the banana layer you can mix in a little bit of honey or stevia or agave syrup, this step really depends on your personal taste. Mix until smooth.

Now you're ready to assemble your drink poor your banana smoothie in to a big cup (you can use mason jar for that Instagram picture :D) and then top it of with a layer of your kiwi smoothie.

This is just half of the mixture so you're definitely going to want to have a very big cup for the whole mixture.
Your thick creamy smoothie is now ready to drink maybe even to eat, you will notice that the consistency is like a yogurt or even an icecream, how delicious. So enjoy your 320 calories rich smoothie for a breakfast or an afternoon snack.

So this is it I hope you like this one, I love it, if you try my recipe feel free to share your pictures or suggestions how to make it even tastier :)

That's all for today, until next time Katie :)
