Directions:



FOR EACH SMOOTHIE



  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add more liquid to help it blend if it's too thick.

  2. Transfer the smoothie to a bowl or container, rinse the blender and prep the next smoothie.


TO ASSEMBLE THE RAINBOW SMOOTHIE



  1. Carefully layer each color smoothie in glasses in rainbow order. If desired, blend the smoothie using a straw or stir stick. Top each smoothie with a toothpick filled with leftover fruit.





  • 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.

  • If you are opposed to using a small amount of blue food coloring to achieve the blue layer, it's totally fine to skip that layer! 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. Source
