Recipe FAQs:
You can use fresh fruit but you’d need a lot of ice. Frozen blueberries and mangos work perfectly and help give the smoothie a thicker, colder texture.
Blend each fruit layer separately and pour gently over the back of a spoon. Chill the first layer slightly before adding the next to help them stay distinct.
You can prep the fruit and chia seeds in advance (stored in the freezer), but it’s best to assemble the layers right before serving to keep them vibrant.
About 1–2 teaspoons per smoothie works well. Let them soak in a little liquid for 5–10 minutes before blending for a smoother texture.
Absolutely! Try strawberries, pineapple, or kiwi for different flavors and colorful layers.
Yes! Use any plant-based milk or yogurt instead of dairy for a vegan-friendly version.
Most fruit is naturally sweet, but you can add a little honey, agave, or maple syrup if desired.
