This Rainbow Layered Fruit Smoothie is a vibrant, healthy, and kid-friendly drink that features four colorful fruit and veggie layers—berries, mango, spinach, and blueberries. It’s naturally sweet, packed with nutrients, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or fun treats. The visual appeal and creamy texture make it a great way to get kids excited about fruits and vegetables.


Ingredients

Red Layer (Strawberry & Raspberry):

  • ½ cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ cup raspberries
  • ¼ cup almond milk or coconut water

Yellow Layer (Mango):

  • ½ cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ cup orange juice

Green Layer (Spinach & Banana):

  • ½ cup fresh baby spinach (lightly packed)
  • ½ banana
  • ¼ cup almond milk or water

Purple Layer (Blueberries):

  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt

Optional Toppings:

  • Banana slices
  • Mango slices
  • Chia seeds
  • Nut butter swirl
  • Ice cubes (optional, for thicker layers)


Instructions

  1. Make the Red Layer:
    Blend strawberries, raspberries, and almond milk until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and freeze for 5 minutes to help set the layer.
  2. Prepare the Yellow Layer:
    Rinse the blender. Add mango and orange juice. Blend until creamy. Slowly pour over the red layer using the back of a spoon. Freeze again for 5 minutes.
  3. Blend the Green Layer:
    Add spinach, banana, and almond milk to the blender. Blend until smooth. Pour gently over the yellow layer using the spoon trick. Chill again briefly.
  4. Finish with the Purple Layer:
    Blend blueberries with yogurt until creamy. Add as the final top layer.
  5. Top and Serve:
    Garnish with banana slices, mango pieces, chia seeds, or nut butter. Insert a straw and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit for thicker, creamier layers and cleaner stripes.
  • Chill each layer in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to keep them distinct.
  • For dairy-free: use a plant-based yogurt and almond milk alternative.
  • You can make this in a mason jar for a grab-and-go breakfast.
  • Great for toddler smoothies and picky eaters thanks to the naturally sweet taste.
