Mango Strawberry Banana Smoothie

I found this wonderful smoothie image on Flickr.com and then found the smoothie recipe on Sandra’s Recipes . Not only is this mango, strawberry, banana smoothie a treat for the tongue, it is a visual delight for the eyes. Sandra has done a masterful job creating this smoothie. Please visit her site to find more recipes (and every recipe has a photo). This smoothie needs to be built in two colorful layers. It takes a little extra time, but you and anyone you share this smoothie with will be delighted at the results.

An added feature for this smoothie is the fact that is a non-dairy smoothie.

Smoothie Ingredients:

Bottom layer:

• • 1 mango, peeled, pitted and chopped
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 medium ice cubes

Top Layer:

• • 1 banana, chopped
  • 10 strawberries, cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3 medium ice cubes

Directions: In a blender, puree the mango, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and ice cubes, until smooth, and divide amongst 2 straight-sided 8 oz. glasses, and set aside.

Rinse blender, then puree banana, strawberries, lemon juice, and ice cubes, until smooth, and gently pour into glasses while trying to maintain a line separating the layers.
