Now that summer is in full swing, smoothies are basically the only thing that we all want right now. This vegan, traffic light smoothie was inspired by the Minimalist Baker’s Stoplight Mango Green Smoothie recipe, one of my favorite food bloggers ever. Who doesn’t want three distinct, fruity layers all in one cup? To get creative with your smoothie, try making a smoothie bowl or adding more colors to create a rainbow layered smoothie. The smoothie possibilities are endless!

Ingredients
Instructions
Gather all necessary ingredients.
Place frozen mangoes and 1/3 cup almond milk into the blender.
Blend until smooth. The mixture will be thick!
Divide 3/4 of the mango mixture into three jars or cups. Keep 1/4 of the blended mangoes in the blender for the next color.
Add the frozen strawberries, raspberries, and 1/3 cup almond milk to the blender.
Blend until smooth. The mixture will be thick!
Divide 1/2 of the strawberry mixture into three jars or cups and carefully pour on top of the yellow layer. Keep 1/2 of the strawberry mixture in the blender for the last color.
Add the frozen banana and spinach. To achieve the classic green color, you may need to add more spinach. Tip: Try adding a kiwi to the smoothie!
Blend until smooth. The green mixture may not be as thick, and that is okay!
Divide all remaining green smoothie among the three jars or cups and carefully pour on top of the red layer.
