Description
This creamy, dreamy blue spirulina smoothie is as stunning as it is nutritious—packed with tropical fruits, plant-based protein, and antioxidants.
Ingredients
1 medium banana, frozen in chunks
½ cup plain coconut yogurt, divided
½ cup unsweetened soy milk (or other plant milk)
½ cup frozen mango
½ cup frozen pineapple
2 teaspoons almond butter
1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
¼ cup ice (optional, for extra iciness)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
1. Cut the banana into chunks and freeze for at least 20 minutes or overnight.
2. Use the back of a spoon to paint “clouds” onto the inside of your smoothie glass using about half of the yogurt.
3. Place the rest of the yogurt and the remaining ingredients in the order listed in a blender, and cover.
4. Increase speed to high and blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until smooth.
5. If needed, use a blender plunger to press ingredients down or add a splash of water.
6. Pour into your prepared glass and enjoy immediately or store in the fridge up to 24 hours.
Notes
Use a professional-grade blender for ultra-smooth texture, but a standard blender works too.
Smoothie is best consumed fresh, though it can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
This recipe doesn’t freeze well once blended.
