½ tsp lemon juice
Lemon zest
½ cup coconut milk
For mango layer:
½ cup coconut milk
1 large mango, cubed
½ a large banana, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup coconut milk

Instructions

Peel and cut the strawberries, mangoes, pineapple and bananas and spread on butter paper or parchment paper lined pan to freeze for about 15 to 30 minutes.
To make the bottom strawberry layer: Remove the frozen or chilled fruit slices from the freezer. Combine sliced strawberries, half a banana, coconut milk, lemon juice and some lemon zest in a blender.
Blend to smooth paste; you may have to do it in small bursts as the fruits are frozen. Divide strawberry smoothie between 2 glasses; it is easier to spoon to form perfect layers, smoothening the top as you go. Return glass freezer 30 mins.
To make the middle mango layer: Combine mangoes, ½ a banana, coconut milk and saffron infused mixture and blend to a smooth puree. Layer this on top of the frozen strawberry layer, leveling the top. Freeze another 30 minutes.
To make the pineapple layer: Combine pineapple, banana, and coconut milk in a blender and make a smooth puree. Remove the frozen smoothie glass from the freezer and layer this mixture gently over the second mango layer and level again.
The layering of smoothie can be made easier if you spoon the mixture into the glass. Serve immediately or chill for another 5 to 10 minutes and serve with a straw. Enjoy!
