Happy Easter!

Hi lovelies, just stopping by to wish you all happy easter! I hope you are having an amazing time with lots of good food and easter chocolate - haha I know I am! I will never get too old to make my parents buy me a giant easter egg ;)

During easter I always go to stay with my family and I don't worry too much about eating healthy, but I do like to make sure I get some proper nutrients in between all the chocolate eating ;) A great way to do so is by drinking smoothies, they're so easy to make and jam-packed with nutrients. This smoothie is actually secretly a green smoothie as I added spinach, but the color from the berries overpowers the green - if you're still not onboard with green smoothies this might be a great way to start, I promise you won't taste the spinach!

Simply blend 2 handfuls spinach, 1 large banana, 1.5 cup mixed frozen berries, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 2 tablespoons skyr/greek yoghurt, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla powder, a little sweetener (I used honey) and about 1 cup water - enjoy!

Directions:
  1. The first things to keep in mind when making layered smoothies is that the bottom layer always have to be the thickest and then you gradually make the upper layers thinner (in texture) or else the upper layers will just mix with the lower layers.
  2. Now for this smoothie I do not have the exact measurements as I kept adjusting the amounts to get the colours I wanted, but here is the ingredients used for the different layers:
  3. First layer: Blend blackberries, banana and vanilla powder
  4. Second layer: Blackberries, raspberries, banana, vanilla powder and milk
  5. Third layer: Raspberries, banana, vanilla powder and milk (add enough milk to make this layer thinner than the second layer)
  6. Enjoy!
