There’s something special about the 4th of July. The sun’s out, the grills are fired up, and there’s red, white, and blue just about everywhere you look. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, heading to a picnic in the park, or just relaxing on your balcony watching the fireworks, one thing’s for sure: you need a drink in hand.

To help you celebrate the 4th of July in delicious style, we’ve put together four festive drink recipes you can make right in your Momo blender. Let’s get into it!
1. Red, White & Blue Layered Smoothie
This one’s for the folks who love a good showstopper. Inspired by the American flag, this smoothie is as gorgeous as it is tasty. The secret is in blending each color layer separately, then pouring them slowly for that picture-perfect stripe effect.
Red layer:
-
½ cup strawberries
-
¼ banana
-
¼ cup water or coconut water
White layer:
-
½ banana
-
¼ cup Greek yogurt
-
Splash of almond milk
Blue layer:
-
½ cup blueberries
-
¼ banana
-
Splash of water
How to make it:
-
Start with the red layer. Blend it until smooth and pour about ⅓ into your glass.
-
Rinse the blender, then blend the white layer. Gently spoon it over the red.
-
Rinse once more, blend the blue layer, and finish off the top.
-
Enjoy as is or top with a little whipped cream and fresh fruit if you’re feeling fancy.
No time to layer? No problem. Blend it all together for a sweet, fruity swirl!
