Description

These Blue Sky Smoothie Bowls are a refreshing and vibrant treat made with frozen mango, banana, and blue spirulina for a naturally bright blue color. Perfect as a healthy dessert or snack!


Ingredients

  • 2 ripe and juicy mangos, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp blue spirulina, or as desired for color
  • To serve: blueberries, granola, unsweetened coconut flakes


Instructions

  1. Freeze chopped mango and banana on two large trays for at least 4–6 hours, or until very firm.
  2. Place frozen fruit chunks into a high-speed blender or food processor along with almond or coconut milk and blue spirulina powder.
  3. Pulse and blend, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The spirulina may cause the mixture to stick to the blender.
  4. Adjust with a little extra milk or more spirulina to reach desired consistency and color.
  5. Transfer the smoothie mixture into serving bowls.
  6. Add toppings such as blueberries, granola, and unsweetened coconut flakes.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using frozen fruit is key to achieving the thick, creamy consistency of a smoothie bowl.
  • Spirulina not only gives the bowl a stunning blue color but also adds a boost of nutrients.
  • You can adjust the amount of spirulina based on your preferred intensity of color.
  • Any kind of berries or toppings can be used for variety.
