There’s one dilemma that arises most of the mornings: Green or purple? Should I make a green smoothie, filled with vegetables and alkaline, or opt for a berry smoothie with powdered superfoods? Well, this question has resolved itself. Say hello to this layered Yin & Yang smoothie that combines the healthiness of greens with the goodness of berries!

You can serve this smoothie as a layered creation (by letting each layer set in the freezer before adding the next one) or  as a swirly smoothie bowl.
