❓ Q&A About Rainbow Smoothies

Q: How do I keep the layers from blending together?
A: Use thick smoothie mixtures (less liquid), and pour slowly. You can also chill each layer briefly in the freezer before adding the next.

Q: Can I make this vegan?
A: Yes! Replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or extra banana. Use plant-based milk for all layers.

Q: Can I prep the layers ahead?
A: Yes. Store each blended layer in separate airtight containers in the fridge up to 24 hours. Stir before assembling.

Q: What are the health benefits?
A: This smoothie is packed with:

• Antioxidants (berries)

• Vitamin C (kiwi, pineapple)

• Fiber (banana, spinach)

• Potassium and natural energy

Q: What if I don’t have fresh fruit?
A: Frozen fruit works perfectly. Just thaw slightly or use more liquid to blend smoothly.

Enjoy this vibrant, nutrient-rich treat! ✨
