Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon plant-based vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder
- 1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina (optional, for extra vibrancy)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup kiwi, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup dragon fruit, cubed or balled
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- Edible flowers (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the Base: Combine frozen banana, pineapple chunks, mango chunks, almond milk (or coconut water), chia seeds, plant-based vanilla protein powder if using, and spirulina powders in a high-speed blender. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and thick, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even mixing. Add a small splash more liquid only if needed to achieve the desired thick and creamy consistency suitable for a smoothie bowl.
- Portion the Smoothie: Pour the vibrant blue-green smoothie mixture evenly into two serving bowls. Use the back of a spoon to smooth and level the surface to create an even canvas that’s ready for decorating with toppings.
- Arrange Toppings Artistically: Decorate the smoothie bowls by placing the sliced kiwi, fresh blueberries, dragon fruit cubes, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, and edible flowers on top in whimsical, mermaid-inspired patterns. Try clustering colors together or creating spirals and other visually appealing designs to enhance the look of the bowls.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your smoothie bowl immediately using a spoon, while the texture remains thick, creamy, and cold. The contrast of the creamy base with fresh, crunchy toppings provides the best taste experience when eaten right away.
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender for a smooth, creamy texture without ice chunks.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk or coconut water sparingly.
- Chia seeds add thickness and fiber, but you can omit if preferred.
- Plant-based protein powder is optional but adds extra protein for a filling meal.
- Edible flowers are for decoration and can be omitted or substituted with nuts or seeds.
- Consume immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor and texture.
