Summary

One of the simplest and tastiest ways to ensure variety and lots of colors is through combos like the Rainbow Smoothie below with yellows, reds, purples, and greens. Mixed berries, spinach and chia seeds are the base of this delicious beverage. Blended together with banana, apple and creamy peanut butter creates a fiber dense, phytonutrient rich and protein packed smoothie takes nutrition to the max!

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use mixed berries or any berries you have on hand or prefer.

Instead of peanut butter, use almond butter or your favorite nut butter.

In place of spinach, use organic kale or other leafy green of choice.

Nut-free
Use tahini in place of nut butter.

Storage
Store rainbow smoothie leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
