Layered Strawberry Mango Smoothies

It's time for the Crazy Cooking Challenge again.  This month the challenge was to make a fruit smoothie or drink.  My husband and I love smoothies, we make them almost every night.  The thing I love the most about smoothies is that they are so easy to make and create your own variations.  Smoothies are a great way to play with different ingredients and fruits.  

When I saw these Layered Smoothies on Pinterest, I knew I had to try making them.  They are from the blog Sandra's Recipes - Alaska.  This is a great blog and she has a lot of yummy smoothie ideas.  Of course, since this is a smoothie, I played with the ingredients.  This was a delicious and refreshing treat.  I ended up mixing the strawberry banana and mango orange layers together to drink the smoothie and they tasted very good together.  My husband and I will add this to the list of smoothies we make and will definitely be making this tasty treat again!
