Spring Smoothies
You. Guys.
Daylight Savings has arrived and in my mind, spring has basically sprung. I am so excited for the beginning of warmer weather and longer days. Also, I happened to stumble upon just about the prettiest smoothie I’ve ever seen over at Floating Kitchen. Blenders out, friends!

Ingredients
For the Romaine-Apple Layer
1 heart of romaine lettuce, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
1 peeled and frozen banana, cut into chunks
2 dates, pitted and chopped
2 tablespoons parsley
1/2 cup orange juice
Juice from 1 lime
For the Strawberry-Rhubarb Layer
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup rhubarb, chopped
1 peeled and frozen banana, cut into chunks
2 dates, pitted and chopped
5 ounces yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
Instructions
Make the romaine-apple layer. Add all of the ingredients for the romaine-apple layer to your blender. Blend on high until smooth. Divide the mixture evenly between two glasses. Rinse out the blender.
Make the strawberry-rhubarb layer. Add all of the ingredients for the strawberry-rhubarb layer to your blender. Blend on high until smooth. Slowly pour the strawberry-rhubarb layer over the romaine-apple layer.
If you want to make some designs, simply insert a straw (or something else long and thin) all the way to the bottom of your glass. Then draw the straw upwards against the side of the glass, moving through both the layers.
Enjoy immediately.
