So pretty. (Picture: Instagram/alison_wu)

Admit it. After every ‘wellness blogger’ shouted about the joy of having a kale and cacao smoothie for breakfast instead of your usual toast and Nutella, you eventually gave in and get a fancy blender – only to be greeted with unappealing green sludge after your 6am blending sesh.

Yeah, your attempts at the smoothie trend didn’t work out too well. Your blender sits at the back of your cupboard. The smoothies you now make once a month go unInstagrammed.

This new trend might change things. Maybe.

People on Instagram are now making gorgeous layered smoothies, with different colours and flavours stacked in an ultra satisfying way.




The results are so pretty, you’ll want to bring out your blender again to give it a go.

Smoothie stacks are a bit of a faff to make.

You basically have to make different types of smoothie (preferably with brightly coloured fruit) then pour each one carefully into a glass.

You’ll need to clean your blender each time to avoid your colours getting mixed up.

You can also mix in chia seeds to prevent blending.

And you can dot slices of fruit around the glass for an extra Instagrammable finish.

This is basically the freakshake trend, but for healthy people.

And the leading smoothie stacker in the game right now is Alison Wu.

She nails it.

Every. Damn. Time.

Gaze upon her Instagram for all the smoothie inspiration you need.

Blue algae has never looked so good.

Yum.
