Mmm! I love coconut smoothies and I love the elegance of 2-layered smoothies – although I usually find mine never look as good as the original ones. Sad but true, I know. But I’ve learned it doesn’t really matter and that I can have an interesting looking smoothie anyway just by giving it a gentle little swirl when one fails to sit on top of the other. So all is not totally lost in the looks department, lol!
It’s the flavor that really counts, though … plus the nutrients a smoothie offers.
Anyway, this one is rich in Vitamin C, fiber and healthy fat, not to mention all the other exciting things that coconut does, like help keep me feeling full and helping me get rid of excess fat!
The recipe comes from Elsie Larson at aBeautifulMess. Although I tampered with it a little and used coconut milk as well as the coconut ice cubes.

Recipe: Coconut Raspberry Vanilla 2-Layer Smoothie
Serves 2
Ingredients:
For the White Coconut Layer:
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
- a few Ice cubes made with Coconut Water
Blend, pour into a glass and then rinse your blender ready to make the raspberry layer.
For the Red Raspberry Layer:
- 2 cups Raspberries (frozen if possible)
- 1 Banana, frozen
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
This layer will be very tart, so if you need it a little sweeter then add a teaspoonful of Maple Syrup. You could always add a little Truvia if you prefer.
Blend, pour into a glass. Garnish with coconut flakes, add a straw and enjoy!
If your raspberry layer will not sit on top of your coconut layer, then give one or two gentle stirs with a spoon or the straw, drawing the white layer into the red and enjoy the swirl it makes.
