Ingredients

  • 2 bananas (frozen)
  • 150 ml milk
  • 50 g Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the red layer:
  • 200 g frozen mixed red berries
  • 150 ml milk
  • 50 g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbs honey or maple syrup
  • strawberry flavoured candy canes (Optional)

Instructions

  • The night before needed, slice up 2 bananas, throw them into a freezer bag and freeze overnight.
  • When ready to make, get the glasses ready for serving and peel the plastic wrapper from 2 or 3 strawberry candy canes if using to decorate.
  • First make the white layer. Place the frozen banana slices, 150ml milk, 50g Greek yogurt and 1 tsp vanilla extract into a high speed blender.
  • Whizz together until smooth, then quickly tip into a clean bowl or jug.
  • Working quickly, place the frozen berries, 150ml milk, 50g Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup into the blender (no need to wash it out).
  • Whizz together until smooth, then quickly tip into another clean bowl or jug.
  • Using two spoons, scoop spoonfuls of the two smoothie mixtures into the glasses in alternate layers.
  • Pop a candy cane into each glass if using and serve immediately.
