Summer is just around the corner and with it always brings one of my top five favorite holidays – 4th of July! There is something about the middle of summer, perfect sunny days, with everyone off work spending time together at a park or barbecue and lighting off fireworks!

In the spirit of upcoming summer time and a love of the red, white, and blue, I have a fun Patriotic Layered Smoothie recipe to share today!
