Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing fresh produce and peeling bananas. Measure out frozen fruits and liquids.
- Blend the red layer: Combine frozen strawberries, orange juice, and ice cubes if desired. Blend until smooth but thick enough to hold shape. Pour gently into the bottom of a mason jar.
- Rinse or wipe the blender jar to avoid color mixing.
- Blend the orange layer: Add frozen mango and coconut water. Blend until thick and pour carefully over the red layer.
- Rinse the blender to prep for the next layer.
- Blend the yellow layer: Combine ripe banana, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, and a splash of water or milk. Blend until creamy and thick. Pour slowly over the orange layer.
- Blend the green layer: Add fresh spinach, frozen pineapple, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and pour on top of the yellow layer.
- Blend the blue/purple layer: Blend frozen blueberries with almond milk. Pour gently over the green layer.
- Add final touches like chia seeds or fresh berries on top for garnish if desired.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Stir gently before enjoying.
Notes
Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to keep layers distinct. Rinse blender between layers to avoid color mixing. Use frozen fruit for thicker layers or add ice cubes if using fresh fruit. Adjust thickness by adding more frozen fruit or yogurt. Optional protein powder or nut butter can be added to creamy layers for extra protein. Store refrigerated up to 12 hours; layers may blend but remain tasty.
