How to Make Rainbow Smoothie

Okay.. so to make this rainbow fruit smoothie recipe, you will need quite a variety of fruits.

You can easily find these fruits in the frozen section of your grocery store.  But if you like fresh (not canned or frozen bagged) fruits like I do, you can do that too. Just cut up the fruits, put them separately in Ziploc bags and freeze them for at least a day.

This rainbow smoothie is super simple to make: you basically just blend each layer and then stack the layers!

And about layering,  you want to make sure that each smoothie isn’t too liquid-y. If they are, the smoothies will blend together instead of appearing as separate layers when you put them in the glass. Also, when you start layering, use a spoon to make each layer look more even on top of each other.   Also, the best way to keep the layers not mixing is to have each layer chill in the freezer every time between mixings. Also, if you notice a layer is too liquid, add a few pieces of ice to the blender and blend, which will make it firmer so that the layer on top can rest on it.
