A beautiful smoothie with a marble look. Smoothie swirls seem to be trending on instagram. Blends using different powdered variants. I decided to try to recreate the swirly smoothie using only fresh fruits. It may not look as attractive but none the less it gives me satisfaction to know I used only fresh fruits while keeping it totally vegan.
The swirls give it a marble effect in the drink. I made it using a two step method. I used bananas and blueberries to make this. Both the fruits have a huge list of health benefits. Blue berries are rich in anti-oxidants. Bananas on the other hand have super digestive properties and an instant source of energy. This can form a really great quick breakfast option due to the properties I just mentioned.
Let’s get to it!
Ingredients
- Blue berries – 2 cups
- Bananas – 2 medium
- Almond Milk – 1/2 cup
Method
- As I woke up in the morning I peeled two bananas and put them in the deep freezer. It is better to freeze them overnight to achieve a creamier texture. I unfortunately forgot to do that. Freezer them for an hour gave decent results as well!
- Blend at first 1 frozen banana and the almond milk. Transfer this to the jars or glasses.
- Blend the second frozen banana and blueberries next. Pour this on top of the banana smoothies already poured.
- Bananas are usually sufficient to give it the sweetness. If you like it more sweet add some maple syrup.
- Swirl the smoothies with a straw or spoon to make make beautiful swirls to give it the marble effect!
Voila, your smoothie is ready to enjoy! It forms also a great quick breakfast fix. It’s extremely refreshing and will energize you for the day! Of course you can use different fruits for beautiful colored swirls!
