Kiwi Mango Layered Smoothie


Kiwi Mango Layered Smoothie

After the incredible popularity of our first layered smoothie we thought we would post another smoothie recipe that is as great to look at as it is to drink, the Kiwi Mango smoothie. This one takes a bit more preparation than the previous layered recipe (mango, strawberry, banana smoothie) but we think it is worth it. If you give it a try, please send in your photos and we’ll post them on the site. And don’t forget to tell us if you like the recipe. I’m betting this smoothie will become one our readers’ favorites. The tangy flavors of the mango and the kiwi need the honey to balance it out, so don’t skimp on the honey at least the first time you try this smoothie.
