The unicorn food<\/span><\/a> movement doesn\u2019t show signs of slowing down. One healthy (and even more delicious!) way to get your rainbow fix at home: ombre smoothies. While blue majik<\/span><\/a> has been the driving force behind this foodie trend, it\u2019s hard to get a hold of the sapphire-hued powder. Instead, these vibrant smoothies allow you to play with a variety of fruits, vegetables, textures and tastes. Mixing and matching different layers of produce also gives you a tall glass of nutrients. The trick to creating an ombre of colors is to let each layer set in the freezer before adding another one on top. Follow that formula for these eight eye-catching, mouth-watering recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Spring-Inspired Layered Smoothie<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you love a good neutral palette, this three-layer smoothie will do. The base for each layer is made with potassium-rich bananas, zucchini, coconut butter, collagen powder<\/span><\/a>, coconut yogurt and almond milk. Freeze-dried mango and turmeric<\/span><\/a> offer vitamins A and C in the yellow layer. Beets<\/span><\/a> and pitaya powder are pink powerhouses that pack essential B vitamins. The silver grey lining in the stack is blue-green algae and blackberries. They may be grey, but they provide plant-based protein, magnesium<\/span><\/a>, potassium and folate. Pro tip: Use a chopstick to swirl the smoothie against the glass to create a tie-dye effect. Photo and recipe: Alison Wu \/ WuHaus<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
