How do I achieve the distinct layers in this smoothie?

The layers are created by blending the papaya-orange mixture, dividing it, blending half with beet powder, then separately blending the green ingredients, and carefully pouring each layer into the glass using a funnel.

Can I substitute the red beet powder or green spirulina?

While red beet powder and green spirulina contribute to the vibrant colors and unique nutritional profile, you could omit them if unavailable, though the visual effect and specific flavors would change.

The recipe mentions adding sweetener; what do you recommend?

The recipe suggests sweeteners like maple syrup or erythritol, which can be added to both the papaya-orange and green layers according to your preference.

Is a funnel necessary for making the layers?

Using a large funnel is recommended in the steps to help create neat, distinct layers without them mixing together, especially for the red beet and orange mixtures, and the green layer.

Can I make this Triple Papaya Smoothie ahead of time?

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh to maintain its vibrant colors and texture. If made ahead, the layers may start to blend, and the fresh spinach and avocado in the green layer are best consumed promptly.

How to Prepare Triple Papaya Smoothie [Vegan]

By using a blender, blend papaya with orange juice until smooth. You may add more juice if needed, it depends on the size of your papaya and orange. If you feel like adding a sweetener, for example maple syrup or erythritol, that is up to you.
Remove half of the mixture into a bowl and blend the remaining half with the beet powder.
Divide the red beet mixture into your glasses, using large funnel and do the same with the remaining orange mixture.
Now rinse your blender and blend all the green layer ingredients. You may also add sweetener if you like.
Again, using the funnel, make the green layer and top with coconut yogurt and pomegranates.
