Strawberry Lychee Yakult Smoothie
🥤 Double-Layered Delight: Where Berry Drink Meets Probiotic Yogurt
A perfect blend of sweet "Strawberry Smoothie" and tart "Yakult."
This beverage showcases the golden ratio of fruit fragrance and lactic acid. We transform the classic Yakult Drink into a creamy slush, then top it with a Berry Drink layer made from strawberry, lychee, and blueberry. Paired with the popping boba at the bottom, every sip is a surprise, redefining your imagination of a Yogurt Smoothie.
Strawberry Lychee Yakult Smoothie is a Layered Drink designed for consumers seeking both visual appeal and dual textures. We observed the market's love for Fruit Smoothies, so we combined three popular fruits (strawberry, lychee, blueberry) with the classic Yakult (probiotic drink) to create this refreshing summer special.
The design highlight of this drink lies in its "Sweet & Tart" stacked structure:
1. Visual Aesthetics: Aesthetic Layered Drink
This is a standard visual-focused drink. The bottom features green boba, the middle is a pure white Yakult Smoothie, and the top is a vibrant purple-red Strawberry Lychee Drink. The layers form a natural gradient in the cup, creating a highly appetizing Aesthetic Drink look.
2. Flavor Mix: Yakult Meets Berries
Flavor-wise, it’s a dialogue between lactic acid and fruit. The lower Yakult Drink layer offers a sweet-and-tart yogurt flavor that foreigners love—rich but not cloying. The upper layer blends the pulp texture of strawberry jam, the elegant floral scent of Lychee Drink, and the deep acidity of blueberry, creating an incredibly rich Berry Drink profile.
3. Ultimate Texture: The Surprise of Popping Boba
To make this Fruit Smoothie more fun, we added White Grape Popping Boba at the bottom. Unlike chewy tapioca pearls, these boba offer a "bursting" sensation, releasing fresh grape aroma instantly to blend with the smoothie above.
Ingredients
Green Boba Base:
White Grape Popping Boba: As needed —— Creates the stunning green bottom layer & Popping Boba Drink texture
White Yakult Layer:
Yakult Syrup: 60 ml —— The base for the Yakult Drink
Ice Cubes: 1 cup

Directions
Lay the Boba (Green Base)
Pour White Grape Popping Boba into the serving glass. This creates the vibrant green bottom layer of the Popping Boba Drink.
Blend the Yakult (White Layer)
Add Yakult Syrup and Ice Cubes to a blender. Blend until smooth and snowy to create the Yakult Smoothie. Pour into the glass until it covers about half the cup (the middle white layer).
Blend the Berry Mix (Pink Layer)
Add Strawberry Jam, Lychee Syrup, Blueberry Syrup, and Ice Cubes to the blender. Blend until slushy. This layer provides the rich Berry Drink flavor.
Create Layers
Gently pour the Strawberry Lychee Smoothie on top of the white Yakult layer.
Tip: Pour slowly to maintain the sharp contrast of this Layered Drink.
Garnish
Top with a fresh Mint Leaf. This green accent perfectly echoes the boba at the bottom, completing the Aesthetic Drink look.
🏷 Tips
Layering Trick: The Yakult slush layer is usually denser, while the berry layer is lighter. As long as you don't stir, you can maintain the beautiful bi-color effect.
Visual Balance: The green boba at the bottom and the green mint on top create a perfect color echo, making the drink look professionally designed.
Drinking Suggestion: Recommend serving with a wide straw. Drinkers can taste the layers separately first, then stir to enjoy a sweet and sour Yogurt Smoothie flavor.
