Instructions
Make the Three Separate Smoothie Layers
Working one layer at a time, blend each fruit separately with equal portions of banana, vanilla yogurt, and milk. Make the strawberry blend first, then mango, then blueberry. Pour each into separate bowls and place in the freezer for five minutes to thicken slightly.
Prepare Your Glasses
Choose two tall clear glasses so the beautiful layers will be visible. Tilt the glasses slightly in the freezer for two minutes to chill them. Cold glasses help prevent the layers from blending together too quickly.
Layer the Smoothies Carefully
Working quickly, spoon the thickest layer first using a spoon held against the inside of the glass. Pour the mango layer slowly over the back of the spoon, then carefully add the blueberry layer the same way. The density differences keep the layers separate.
Serve Immediately for Best Effect
Serve the rainbow smoothies right away before the layers begin to blend together. Hand kids a long spoon and let them swirl the colors themselves for a fun kid friendly activity that makes drinking this healthy smoothie even more exciting.
