  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. Add initial liquid: Pour in about 1/4 cup of coconut milk to help blending start smoothly.
  3. Blend till smooth: Blend on low to medium speed until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Taste and sweeten: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
  7. 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.
