Nutrient Breakdown

Hazelnut butter - is a nutritional powerhouse great for supporting brain health, cardiovascular health, supporting healthy hair skin and nails, and managing blood sugar. Out of all the nuts - hazelnuts have the highest content of proanthocyanidins (1), which are a class of polyphenols that have significantly high antioxidant activity! Read more about the health benefits of polyphenols here.

Blueberries - are low in sugar but high in antioxidants and phytonutrients known to help support brain health, your immune system, eye health, and more! Frozen wild blueberries are a great choice, as they are typically frozen at peak ripeness, which helps to preserve all their beneficial nutrients. Blueberries are also high in fiber, making them a gut-friendly food that is low on the glycemic index.

Strawberries - just like blueberries, strawberries are high in antioxidants and fiber. Strawberries are an especially great source of vitamin C - with one cup meeting the recommended daily value. 

Tips for Making a Layered Smoothie

• Don't add too much liquid! Just as with a smoothie bowl, you are going to want this smoothie to be thick and creamy - otherwise the layers will not stay separate
• Freeze each layer to ensure that the smoothie stays thick while blending up the next layer! Otherwise, the ingredients will melt and the layers will mix as you pour them together
• Have fun with it - you can get fancy and make a three layer smoothie like we did, or just do two layers such as chocolate and strawberry or chocolate and blueberry
• Add nut butter for the best creamy, rich, delicious texture - and of course for those healthy fats and protein as well!

Ingredients

For The Chocolate Layer

• 1 frozen banana

• 2 tablespoons hazelnut butter

• 1 ½ tablespoons raw cacao

• ¼ cup almond milk (or your choice of dairy-free milk)

For the Blueberry Layer

• ½ frozen banana

• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds

• ¼ cup frozen blueberries

• ¼ cup almond milk

For the Strawberry Layer

• ½ frozen banana

• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds

• ¼ cup frozen strawberries

• ¼ cup almond milk

Directions

1. Make the chocolate layer - To a high speed blender, add frozen banana, hazelnut butter, raw cacao, and almond milk. Blend until smooth, it should be very thick - you may need to use a tamper or stop to scrape the smoothie to the bottom of the blender. Once blended, divide into 2 serving glasses and place in the freezer.

2. Make the blueberry layer - To the blender, add frozen banana, hemp seeds, frozen blueberries, and almond milk. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides again if needed. Carefully add the blueberry smoothie on top of the chocolate smoothie, then place the glasses back in the freezer (this ensures the smoothie does not melt and blend together as you prepare the final layer).

3. Make the strawberry layer - For the final layer add to the blender: banana, strawberries, hemp seeds, and almond milk. Blend until smooth, again stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed. Layer the strawberry smoothie on top of the blueberry and chocolate layers.

4. To Serve - Top with hemp seeds, fresh berries, and a drizzle of hazelnut butter!
