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!

Thank you so much, Mary Frances!! At least the pink smoothie tasted good…ha!
Cute! Really good job on layering the smoothie! I tried that with a strawberry kiwi smoothie I made last week and it ended up brown! ha! Love how patriotic these are!
Thanks, Annie!! The layering can be tough – I learned the hard way!
I love the distinct layers of flavors here. This is beautiful!! And you’re right, I can’t believe the holiday is a week away! This is def the perfect treat for a get-together. Love it! And thank you so much for having me be a part of your giveaway! You’re the best 🙂
Thank you so much, Connie! You’re making me blush 😉
Cate, I am dying over this pretty smoothie! It has everything I love (and would have made a much better breakfast than the handful of cereal I ran out the door with :). Thanks so much for organizing this fun giveaway!
Thank you so much, Amy! I wish I could have pretty smoothies like this every morning!

Brilliant idea, Cate! These smoothies are so pretty and festive. 🙂 Chobani is my go-to yogurt, and I’d love to win that case. I’m so upset that I never find the coconut flavor in stores near me, because that would be my very favorite. I always buy the Coco-loco flips…I’m addicted!
This is going to be my breakfast for the week!! I love everything in it. And I’m so glad the US made it to the next round. You may have had something to do with it 🙂
These are lovely! I love that you didnt opt for food coloring, au naturale is the way to go!
This is one GORGEOUS smoothie! Your presentation is beautiful! Wish I had a few of these smoothies for breakfast right now! And great giveaway 🙂 Pinned!
That smoothie is so pretty!
These are so adorable for the holiday, worth the extra time! My kids would love them. And I love that there is no food coloring too, since I try to avoid artificial colors.
Wow, so pretty. I love how you have got the layers of colour.
Awwhhh these are such adorable smoothies and the flavor combo sounds fantastic as well! Love love love them! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend Cate! xx
What a pretty idea! I wish there was a 4th July over here in Australia so that I could make these to celebrate! 🙂
