Strawberry Pineapple Banana Lava Flow Smoothie

I’ve never made a lava flow smoothie but I’m hooked now. Fast, easy, healthy, refreshing, and tastes wonderful. It’s so creamy and tropical-tasting and it looks cool. By using frozen fruit, I didn’t need to add ice which can water down smoothies. Plus frozen is cheaper and readily available even when it’s not berry season. The fruit is naturally sweet so I didn’t need to add sugar which is always a win.

Ingredients

  • 1 banana peel, break into chunks, place in ziplock or bowl, and freeze, large, ripe, frozen
  • 1 cup pineapple frozen
  • cashew milk Silk brand, unsweetened, about 3/4 cup
  • 1 cup strawberries semi-frozen
  • sweetener optional and to taste (zero-calorie sweetener packets, agave, sugar, etc.)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To the canister of a blender, add the banana, pineapple, 3/4 cup milk and blend on high power until smooth. Slowly add more milk if necessary to get blender moving or until desired smoothie consistency is reached. Pour into one large glass or divide between two glasses; set aside.
  2. Rinse blender canister and add the strawberries. I use frozen berries that I allow to thaw at room temp for about 30 minutes; alternatively use fresh berries that you freeze for about 30 minutes. Optionally add sweetener to taste, and blend on high power until smooth.
  3. Top the banana-pineapple portion with the strawberries and serve immediately. The strawberries will seep down over time into the banana portion to create the visual lava effect, but use a straw to encourage it if desired.
