This Rainbow Smoothie recipe is something I’ve been wanting to try in the Raw Blend kitchen for some time now. It’s a little tricky as it consists of 7 different colours smoothies all layered on top of each other. Probably not a recipe you are going to try at home but it looks amazing. Happy Blending!

Method
- Blend all smoothie layers for 20-40 seconds or until a thick icy consistency has been reached.
- You want to ensure the smoothies are very thick (almost bordering on a slurpy or sorbet consistency, so they don’t mix together when layering).
- Place each smoothie layer into a glad bag or glass and place in the freezer until all layers are complete so they don’t melt.
- Carefully layer each different colour smoothie into the glass with a spoon.
- For a tie dye effect push a straw to the bottom of the glass and scrape upwards towards the top layer.
