Pineapple-cranberry smoothie can be prepared without separating the flavors into layers, but it is the two-layer version that looks so impressive, and it is so nice to feel the contrast of sour and sweet in one drink. To prepare a drink, you can take fresh cranberries in season and frozen - at any time of the year. I used frozen berries without defrosting them ahead of time.

Bananas will give a creamy texture, add thickness and natural sweetness to the drink. In the cranberry layer, the sweetness from the banana will not be enough, so you can sweeten it with pineapple syrup or regular sugar syrup to taste. By the way, please note that there is no water in the smoothie, but if desired, you can dilute the density by adding a little water during whipping. Immediately prepare glasses or portioned jars in which we will serve smoothies.

Кухня: European, напитки, калории: 70, время приготовления: 00:30

Ингредиенты

Cranberries - 1 cup

Canned pineapple (pieces) - 1 cup

Bananas - 2 pcs.

Sugar syrup - to taste

Рецепт

1. Prepare the pineapple layer: put slices of pineapple and one banana into the blender bowl, add a few tablespoons of syrup.

2. Beat the ingredients at a high blender speed until smooth. The pineapple layer is ready, let's try it for sweetness, check the density - if everything suits, then pour the drink into prepared glasses or jars, filling them halfway.

3. For the cranberry layer, put the second banana into the blender bowl, cut into arbitrary pieces, add cranberries and a little syrup.

4. Beat the ingredients until you get a smooth and bright cranberry smoothie. Let's taste it, at this stage I added a little more syrup. After adding the syrup, beat the smoothie for a few more seconds.

5. Gently pour the cranberry smoothie layer over the pineapple layer. If you did not add water during the churning process, then the drink turned out to be quite thick and the layers will not mix when adding one layer to another.

6. Decorate the finished pineapple-cranberry smoothie to taste with cranberries and mint leaves.

7. This is such a contrasting drink: both in color and in taste. But if you mix two layers, then the taste becomes harmonious.

8. Bon appetit!
