This recipe for a tutti frutti rainbow smoothie is a 5 minute Runner-Up from the Fast & Fresh Time Trials Recipe Contest, hosted here on Go Dairy Free, and sponsored by So Delicious Dairy Free.
The recipe (and photo) was created by Tiffany Aaron of Secret Life of a Betty Crocker Wannabe (note that I’ve included it in the “Alisa’s Recipes” section simply to share that it is a recipe I have tested in my own kitchen, recommend, and included notes on).
Tiffany uses So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage and Vanilla Cultured Coconut Milk (aka: dairy-free yogurt) in this super quick and fun rainbow smoothie. It comes together with ease and is a cool, frosty way to enjoy fruit when the weather warms up!
Special Diet Notes & Options: Vegan Rainbow Smoothie

Alisa’s Notes: For the vegan rainbow smoothie recipe we are posting here, sweetener of choice is noted as an option. In one batch that we made of this recipe, our frozen mango wasn’t sweet enough, setting the tone for a slightly lackluster smoothie. Try to use ripe, sweet fruit, and if not available, a little stevia or sweetener of choice to taste, does the trick. Also, this is a great recipe for seamless add-ins, like your favorite dairy-free protein powder or powdered vitamins. We add just 1 tablespoon of a white supplement to keep the flavor and look in tact!
- 1 cup So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Beverage, divided
- ½ cup frozen mango chunks
