Traffic Lights Breakfast

This past week was quite dark and rainy here in Sydney, and I felt like creating a source of bright colourful contrast that would be a delight to look at...

And as my dear beloved is often talking about traffic flow and roads efficiency, I felt inspired to create this version of a breakfast smoothie. And share the recipe with you:

Tri-Colour SmoothieIt's imperative for all three layers to have a similar consistency - which should be pretty thick AND to pour the layers carefully on top of each other.

 I started by juicing 6 small apples (I buy the "juicing" labeled apples, which means they don't look as nice but they are still perfectly yummi - awsome for juicing!) with a little bit of fresh ginger.

For each of the layers I blended -

Green layer:

1-2 bananas

1/2 cup fresh apple-ginger juice

3 dates

a lot of green leaves (I used a mix of mint, mizuna and kale)

Yellow layer:

1-2 bananas

1/2 cup fresh apple-ginger juice

Juice of 2 carrots

2 oranges, peeled

3 dates

Red Layer:

1-2 bananas

5 medium-sized strawberries (green parts removed)

Juice of 1/2 small beetroot

1/2 cup apple-ginger juice

3 dates

That was enough for 3 rather large portions - perfect for sharing with Oliver and Catherine.

Happy breakfast!
