A Red, White, and Blue Smoothie made with Chobani Greek yogurt is the perfect treat to make for the 4th of July! Festive, delicious, healthy, and so cute!

Can you believe it is the Fourth of July next week??  Summer is here in full force! I have been thinking about making these cute lil Red, White, and Blue Smoothie for months now, and then all of a sudden the time to make them was here!  I love making smoothies in the summer, and one ingredient that is always in my recipes is Chobani Greek Yogurt. And if you’re a yogurt fanatic like me, you are going to pretty excited when I tell you this….

I’m giving away a case of Chobani yogurt cups!!!  Yep, that’s right, one lucky winner will get a whole case of assorted Chobani yogurt cups delivered to their house!!  Scroll to the bottom to enter!

I can’t think of a more festive snack / drink / treat for the 4th of July than a Red, White, and Blue Smoothie! And I had such a vision in my head of what they would look like and how perfect they would be. And then I started experimenting.

Let’s just say that the first batch didn’t exactly look like these.

You see, I didn’t really think that smoothies would blend into each other when they are layered. Wrong. They do. If you have a lovely red layer of smoothie, and you pour white on top of it, you end up with a nice big pink smoothie. NOT what I was looking for!

So I tried something else. I froze each layer. But not until they were frozen solid (after all, we wanted to drink these guys!) – just until they were starting to harden. So I made the red layer, froze it for about 30 minutes. Then made the white layer and added it on top, froze it for 30 minutes, then finally topped it with the blue layer! It takes some extra time but it is totally worth it – these red, white, and blue smoothies are so cute and will be the hit of any July 4 Party!
