Instructions

For each smoothie layer

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add more liquid to help it blend if it's too thick.
  • Transfer the smoothie to a bowl or container, place in the fridge, rinse the blender and prep the next smoothie.

To assemble the rainbow smoothie

  • Use a spoon to gently add each smoothie layer to the glass. Pouring too quickly can cause the colors to blend together, and we want those layers to shine. If desired, blend the smoothie using a straw or stir stick. Top each smoothie with a toothpick filled with leftover fruit.

Notes

  • I was able to make 8-10 rainbow smoothies using 15.5 oz glasses.
  • The recipe can be scaled back to yield a smaller portion. Simply cut each smoothie recipe in half.
  • If you'd like to avoid canned fruit, use fresh fruit. I would suggest cutting it up and freezing it so the smoothie will still be frosty and thick.
  • I added a small amount of orange and blue food coloring to enhance those specific layers. The orange layer needed a little boost to make it more vibrant, and as for the blue layer, it’s nearly impossible to achieve that true blue hue without some form of coloring. If you want to go the all natural route, here is a tutorial for how to make natural blue food coloring, or you can buy natural blue food coloring here or here as well.
