Rainbow Smoothie Recipe – How to Make a Rainbow Smoothie

Leave a comment

Whether you’re looking for a St. Patrick’s day rainbow treat or a rainbow dessert for a birthday party or celebration, the rainbow smoothie is always a hit! We’ll show you how to get the perfect rainbow layers every time. This visually beautiful smoothie also tastes like a rainbow! You’ll taste the different fruit in each rainbow layer.

INGREDIENTS

You’ll note that each later requires yogurt. This is to make sure it’s thick enough for the layers to spoon on top of each other. There are also fewer bananas in the red and green layers so that the color pops more. One banana is split between each layer.

*Makes 4 smoothies*


Red Layer

  • 1/2 cup of yogurt
  • 1/2 a banana
  • 1 cup of strawberries
  • 1 cup of raspberries

Orange Layer

  • 1/2 cup of yogurt
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup of orange slices

Yellow Layer

  • 1/2 of yogurt
  • 1 cup banana
  • 1 cup of mango

Green Layer

  • 1/2 cup of yogurt
  • 1/2 a banana
  • 1 cup of kiwi
  • 1 cup of power greens
  • *2-3 blueberries to make it greener*

Purple Layer

  • 1/2 cup of yogurt
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup of blueberries
  • 1 cup of blackberries

*This is how the smoothie looks when you pour the layers in or they aren’t thick enough!*

Rainbow Smoothie Tips

  • Make sure each layer is thick enough. Don’t pour the layers into each other.
  • You’ll want to carefully spoon each layer on top of the other. Start by spooning it to the edges to get a clean layer with an even amount of each.
  • If they need to be thicker, add a little more yogurt.
  • You can also pop the layers into the freezer for 30 minutes to get them more like an ice cream consistency for spooning.
