Smoothie Season: Mango, Strawberry, Blueberry

I love the summer for many reasons, but one of the best joys is drinking an ice cold smoothie on a hot day. A great treat or snack and very easy to make.

And the cool thing about fruit smoothies is you can really get creative and experiment. I decided to try some layering, instead of the usual blend-them-all-together approach. 

The bottom layer:

• 3/4 of a medium-sized mango (or 1 whole small mango), peeled and cut up
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 3-4 ice cubes

Middle layer:

• 4-5 strawberries, stems removed
• 2 ice cubes
• 2 tablespoons of water
• tablespoon agave (optional depending on tartness of berries)

 Top layer:

• handful (1/4 cup?) of blueberries
• 1 ice cube
• 1/4 cup of soy milk

I tend not to add sugar to anything, but a bit of agave is fine. Any non-dairy milk will work, but I prefer soy. These measurements will vary based on your fruits' size and sweetness (and your taste), so experiment for yourself and enjoy!

Love and Peace,
