Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 bananas (frozen)
- ½ cup mango (frozen)
- 1 ½ cups pineapple (frozen)
- ½ cup spinach (loosely packed)
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
- ½ cup coconut milk (divided, as needed)
Toppings (optional)
- Mango chunks
- Pineapple chunks
- Shredded coconut
- Granola
- Flax seeds
- Chia seeds
- Hemp seeds
- Honey
- Cacao nibs
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add the frozen bananas, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, loosely packed spinach, coconut cream, honey, and blue spirulina powder into a blender or food processor.
- Add initial liquid: Pour in about 1/4 cup of coconut milk to help blending start smoothly.
- Blend till smooth: Blend on low to medium speed until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Adjust consistency: Gradually add more coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the smoothie mixture reaches a thick, spoonable consistency suitable for a bowl.
- Adjust color and texture: Assess the color and texture. If the mixture is too yellow, add a small pinch of blue spirulina powder or a little more spinach to enhance the hue. If it looks too dark, blend in an extra spoonful of coconut cream to lighten it.
- Taste and sweeten: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
- Serve and garnish: Divide the smoothie evenly between two bowls. Top with your choice of mango chunks, pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, granola, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, a drizzle of honey, and/or cacao nibs for texture and added nutrients.
Notes
- Use frozen fruits to achieve a thick and chilled smoothie bowl consistency without adding ice.
- Adjust the amount of coconut milk carefully to control the thickness of the smoothie bowl.
- Blue spirulina is a natural blue pigment with antioxidants but add sparingly to avoid overpowering flavor.
- This smoothie bowl can be customized with any desired toppings to add crunch and texture.
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
