How to Make a Layered Rainbow Smoothie

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at American chapter.

Rainbow everything is visually addicting, but this healthy rainbow smoothie is actually addicting. I have a serious addition to this drink. This smoothie incorporates various fruits and veggies to give you an energising boost. Although I chose fruits that I enjoy, this smoothie can be easily adjusted to incorporate the foods that you enjoy – as long as it is rainbow.
