The nice thing about making your own curry paste is that like anything homemade, not only is it far fresher than anything store-bought, but it is also completely customizable. This really makes a difference when it comes to heat level. I consider this recipe as written to be about a “medium” heat level. For “mild” omit the jalapenos, and for “hot” use 3 jalapenos and add 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (or to taste).

Quite possibly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Imagine if you will, plunging your spoon through a crispy layer of caramelized sugar to expose a silky layer of frozen creme brulee ice cream beneath. Oh yea baby, this recipe is worth every single calorie-laden bite. Break out the kitchen torch! Your family and friends are going to flip over this one.

Recipe Description

A super antioxidant breakfast drink-get your kids to drink their greens

Preparation Instructions

Put yellow layer ingredients in your blender and blend (on smoothie cycle if there is one) until smooth. Pour this into two or three glasses depending on the size of your glasses.

Rinse out your blender and add the red layer ingredients. Blend until smooth. To get the layers to remain separate, you need to pour the red smoothie slowly over the back of a soup spoon on top of the yellow smoothie.

Repeat the same steps with the blue smoothie ingredients.

Ingredients

Yellow Layer
¾ cups Filtered Water
¾ cups Banana, Frozen Chunks
¾ cups Pineapple, Frozen Chunks
Red Layer
¾ cups Filtered Water
¾ cups Banana, Frozen Chunks
¾ cups Raspberries, Frozen (or Strawberries)
Blue Layer
¾ cups Filtered Water
¾ cups Banana, Frozen Chunks
¾ cups Blackberries Frozen (or Blueberries)
1 cup Fresh Spinach, Packed

Fabulous! I was a little skeptical at first because, although I don’t make A LOT of smoothies, all of them that I have made have had dairy in them. I thought using just water would cause it to be bland and/or not very thick. And, spinach? In a smoothie? But, I am generally up for trying new things and since it looked so pretty, I gave it a try! I’m so glad I did!! My 3-year old and I both thought it was fantastic! Really, really good! My layers didn’t turn out quite as pretty as yours, but it was still worth making and I will definitely make it again. Thank You for sharing!!
