Ingredients

Scale
  • Red Layer:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Orange Layer:
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 banana
  • Yellow Layer:
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 banana, ripe
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • Green Layer:
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen mango or green grapes
  • 1/2 cup apple juice or coconut water
  • Blue Layer:
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Purple Layer:
  • 1 cup frozen blackberries or purple grapes
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by measuring out fruit, yogurt, and juices for each layer.
  2. Blend the red layer: In a blender, combine strawberries, raspberries, vanilla yogurt, and honey. Blend until thick and smooth. If too thick, add a splash of milk or juice; if too thin, add more frozen berries. Pour into the bottom of a tall glass.
  3. Rinse the blender. For the orange layer, blend mango, orange juice, and banana until smooth. Gently spoon over the red layer.
  4. Rinse the blender. For the yellow layer, blend pineapple, banana, and Greek or coconut yogurt. Spoon gently over the orange layer.
  5. Rinse the blender. For the green layer, blend spinach, kiwi, mango or grapes, and apple juice or coconut water. Spoon over the yellow layer.
  6. Rinse the blender. For the blue layer, blend blueberries, vanilla yogurt, and chia seeds. Spoon over the green layer.
  7. Rinse the blender. For the purple layer, blend blackberries or grapes, coconut or almond milk, and honey. Spoon on top as the final layer.
  8. For best results, use the back of a spoon to gently spread each layer to the edges. If a layer starts to sink, freeze the glass for 5 minutes before adding the next.
  9. Top with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, or extra fruit slices if desired. Serve immediately with a spoon and straw.

Notes

For best, bold layers, use frozen fruit and Greek or coconut yogurt for thickness. Rinse the blender between colors to keep layers bright. If a layer is too runny, add more frozen fruit or yogurt. For vegan or dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and milk, and swap honey for maple syrup. Make ahead up to 6 hours and store covered in the fridge. Leftovers can be frozen into popsicles.
