Here's a fun and festive treat to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday! (Psst... it's also really healthy! Don't tell!)

Ingredients

• 2 cup strawberries, frozen

• 1 cup raspberry or cherry juice

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 2 medium bananas (1 fresh, 1 cut into chunks and frozen)

• 1 cup milk of choice

• 5 ice cubes

• 2 cup blueberries

• 1 & 1/4 cup milk of choice

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 2 tablespoon flaxseed, ground

Directions

1. If you do not want the separate layers, just blend everything together at once in a high-powered blender and enjoy!

2. If you DO want layers, start by blending the strawberries, juice and honey together. Pour into individual glasses, about 1/3 full. Set glasses in freezer for 10 minutes.

3. Rinse out the blender to remove any remaining red layer mixture. Then, add the bananas, 1 cup of milk, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Pour the white layer over the frozen red layer, filling about 2/3 full. Set glasses back in freezer for 15 minutes.

4. Rinse out the blender to remove any remaining white layer mixture. Then, add in the blueberries, remaining milk, honey, and flaxseeds. Blend until smooth. Pour the blue layer over the frozen white layer, filling to the top. Freeze for 10 minutes before serving if layers seem to be melting together.

5. Serve layered with a straw.
