"Traffic Light" Smoothie

Go - Slow Down - Stop.. No, just gas and go to have this glass of goodness. No need to follow the Traffic Light Signals to introduce your taste-buds to this sensational smoothie.Umm, you get that this is only a "figurative expression", right? Stick to the Traffic Rules.
About a month ago, when I was searching for a unique smoothie recipe, I came across this one that made me want to try right away. Of course I put my own spin on it but stayed true to the "Traffic Light Concept". Let me tell you, the making of this smoothie is not as easy as it looks as its very difficult to prevent the bleeding of one layer to another unless its super thick. Let me also tell you, its super easy to fall in love once you get the taste of it. The buttery taste of avocado- followed by the sweet addictive taste of mango- followed by the subtle sweet taste of raspberry is irresistible. There is no need to add sugar as the banana and mango pulp does the job of sweetening the smoothie. Please feel free to use any fruit combo to make this.Enjoy it as much as I did.Other smoothie/drink recipes that you might like -Edward Cullen's Twilight Drink, Apple Banana Strawberry  Smoothie, Banana Kiwi Kooler, Black Berry Topped Mango Lassi, Nutella Berry Smoothie.
