Blue Smoothie Bowl Recipe Ingredients

Bear in mind the ingredients are completely up to you, although the original recipe is perfectly delicious as it is. To make a blue smoothie, we use frozen bananas, peaches and pineapple, and a cup of milk (almond, oat, soy, cow’s – whatever you prefer). The pretty, fluorescent blue colour comes from blue spirulina powder or blue pea powder.

Frozen blackberries, blueberries, cocoa nibs, and sliced banana work as toppings or you can sub other fruits if you wish. I also like to add coconut butter crumbles, which is a puree made of raw coconut. This dense, thick substance is sweet and delicious and melts in the mouth.

Blend the main ingredients:  Blend the frozen bananas with almond milk.
Add the remaining ingredients:  Add the rest of the frozen fruit and blend on a low speed, then add the blue spirulina.
Add the toppings:  Finish the blue mermaid bowls off with fresh fruit, coconut butter, cocoa nibs, or whatever you like.

Substitutions and Variations

It’s completely up to you which flavours to add to the smoothie. All kinds of superfood options, such as coconut chips, blue-green algae, Asian pigeonwings, blue bellvine, blue pea, butterfly pea, cordofan pea and Darwin pea are available from your local health food store or on Amazon. You can use any kind of milk (I love coconut milk in mine) and whichever fresh berries you prefer.

You can your desired toppings that you like, such as hemp seeds, chia seeds, chocolate chips or fresh fruit.

What to Serve with Mermaid Blue Smoothie Bowls

This is a perfect breakfast, boasting so much flavour. It’s the texture of ice-cream so you could even have it for dessert. This is a meal in one, so I would just enjoy it with my morning coffee or butterfly pea tea, but you can have whatever you wish on the side. If you’re making these as part of a brunch, some other tasty dishes would be savoury breakfast muffins, baked eggs in cocotte or egg bites.

Storage Instructions

Store:  This is a recipe that should be made just before serving, else the ingredients will separate and it won’t be anywhere near as pretty or as tasty.
Freeze:  Not recommended.
