Not your average smoothie
I wouldn’t call this your average breakfast smoothie, I mean it does have 7 layers, but it’s the type of smoothie that would be perfect for special occasions like birthdays, St. Patrick’s day, or celebrating Pride!
For St. Patrick’s Day in particular, how fun would it be to stick a gold chocolate coin in the bottom of the glass before adding the smoothie?! That way when someone is finished drinking it, they find gold at the end of the rainbow!
Frozen fruit for smoothies
To make this rainbow smoothie you will need quite a bit of fruit.
Some of the items you’ll easily be able to find in the frozen fruit section, like strawberries, blueberries, and mango, but here’s my secret to frosty & thick smoothies..
..if a smoothie recipe calls for peaches instead of buying a bag of frozen peaches which can be kind of pricy, buy a can of peaches, drain the juice, place the peaches in a ziplock bag and toss in the freezer. Instant frozen fruit!
I do this with bananas too. I’ll slice up a whole bunch of bananas, place the pieces in a bag and put them in the freezer so I have frozen bananas I can use whenever I want to make a smoothie.
I do this with pineapple too. Buy it in a can, drain it, put it in a bag and freeze it.
How to layer a Rainbow Smoothie
Since you will be layering each smoothie of top of each other, you want to make sure that each smoothie isn’t too liquidy. If they are too liquidy the smoothies will blend together instead of appearing as separate layers.
