You and your blender have a comfortable bond. Every morning, you throw in your trusty fruit-vegetables mix, and your blender delivers.

It’s a long-term relationship you can count on – but if you’re looking to spice things up, we’ve got just the thing.

This rainbow work of art isn’t your average breakfast smoothie. As such, it takes some patience. While the “cooking” part is as simple as throwing frozen produce in the blender, each layer needs to freeze into a relatively solid consistency before you pour the next. Your freezer gets a workout just as much as your willpower, but the gorgeous end result is totally worth it.

We keep each layer simple and clean, ingredient-wise, so that the flavors complement each other rather than compete. With peaches, blueberries, strawberries and more frozen at peak ripeness, it’s a deliciously sweet and fruity smoothie. A handful of spinach perks things up in the green layer. We found the smoothie plenty sweet on its own, but feel free to add honey or your preferred sweetener if you find yourself needing more.

To help the freezing process along, we put our Mason jar in a bath of ice water and salt while it chilled in the freezer. This isn’t required, but it will get you to the best part of the smoothie – eating it – a lot quicker.

Unlike other rainbow smoothies on the web, this one is a pretty healthy treat. There’s no synthetic food dyes and sugar-laden fruit juices – just fruit, veggies and coconut milk.

We recommend whipping these up on a weekend morning for a special treat – especially if you have kids. They’ll get a kick out of the vibrant smoothie layers, and you can rest easy knowing their treat is clean-eating friendly.
