Sunrise Smoothie

I've been getting my smoothie drank on lately, y'all.

Like, I've had A LOT of smoothies in the past few weeks. Mostly because it's been warm and it just sounds delicious, but also because I've been trying to detox/get my hair, skin, and nails "on fleek" (did I use that right?).

ANYWAY. With all the smoothie consumption I have become a little, dare I say it, bored with smoothies. I just needed a little more jazz, know what I'm saying? 

But then, then this Sunrise Smoothie walked into my life.

I mean this babe is a beauty! How pretty are those colors!? 

Can you guess the ingredients? I'll give you a hint: strawberry, mango, banana, and OJ. Which is probably one of the better combinations you will ever get in your smoothie. It's SO yummy!!

The bottom (red) layer is simply pureed strawberry, but once swirled throughout the smoothie it adds pops of berry flavor and it just really changes the game. 

You could take my word for it that this Sunrise Smoothie is delicious and adventurous and exactly what you need in your morning/afternoon/evening routine, or you could just try it for yourself. Which I highly recommend *wink face*
