I found this wonderful smoothie image on Flickr.com and then found the smoothie recipe on Sandra’s Recipes at http://sandrarecipeblogsite.blogspot.com. Not only is this mango, strawberry, banana smoothie a treat for the tongue, it is a visual delight for the eyes. Sandra has done a masterful job creating this smoothie. Please visit her site to find more recipes (and every recipe has a photo). This smoothie needs to be built in two colorful layers. It takes a little extra time, but you and anyone you share this smoothie with will be delighted at the results.
An added feature for this smoothie is the fact that is a non-dairy smoothie.
Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 mango, peeled, pitted and chopped
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 medium ice cubes
- 1 banana, chopped
- 10 strawberries, cut in half
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 medium ice cubes
Instructions
- In a blender, puree the mango, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and ice cubes, until smooth, and divide amongst 2 straight-sided 8 oz. glasses, and set aside.
- Rinse blender, then puree banana, strawberries, lemon juice, and ice cubes, until smooth, and gently pour into glasses while trying to maintain a line separating the layers.
I would love to post additional photos of this smoothie, so if you give it a try, send in the photos to blenderman@smoothieweb.com and I’ll add them and give you credit.

A slightly different version from Barbara, “I tweaked it up a bit and used 3/4 cup of pineapple instead of mango…and lemon juice instead of lime juice.”
I would like to say that I have tried many smoothies and i don’t like any smoothies. I found this recipe today and decided to try it and I loved it! Its my first smoothie that I actually like! Thank you so much for posting it!
That smoothie looks divine! The color of my juices/smoothies is something I’ve been working on myself recently. I’m making some beautiful yellows, reds and greens. But layered drinks?!?! That’s going to take things to a whole new level! Cheers.
We actually used this recipe for our project! Thanks A Bunch :)
@smoothiedelight – Did you take any photos to share?
Just made this because I was bored and it was DELICIOUS! My number one smoothie…try it frozen!!
My wife and I are both trying to shed a few pounds and would like limit our calorie intake. Does anyone have a calorie count on this drink?
My sister, mom, and I made this and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
My sister does not like banana smoothies so she didn’t like it as much, but my mom & I loved it. It would make a good drink idea for a tropical/beach birthday party!!!!!!!!!
That’s a lot of honey which I’m not sure what the point of is. The banana and mango should make this drink sweet enough.
@Arias Try using less and add if you need more. I truly believe smoothies deserve a personal touch.
oooooooooooooh my god it is so good my friends and i are makeing it for owe E.R.P’s
:) :) :)
i made it with all frozen fruit and its good but the top layer was denser than the bottom and sunk through.
I made the mistake of adding a pineapple to the bottom layer. It tasted fine but it was practically all pulp!
I’d say unless you’re just subbing out pineapple juice for the OJ, that particular fruit is not a great idea.
looks yummy i will try to make it today cant wait!
Can I put ice cream in the strawberry banana layer?
That was super, I liked it thank you very much
My husband & I are gonna try this with some rum. Yum
What’s the white layer in the middle?
Yeah what’s that white stuff in the middle? From the smoothy with a twist?
Mr. Blender Man:
I am also confused. Is the white stuff in the middle ice cream? Yogurt? Please help
Heeeelp! I’m making this for my family and I want it to be perfect. Is the white stuff in the smoothy with a twist banana?
