How to Store Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowls

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

Top Tips

Use frozen fruit: This gives the bowl a thicker, creamier texture.
Blend slowly: Start low and increase speed to avoid over-blending.
Add milk gradually: Control the thickness by adding just enough liquid.
Serve immediately: It’s best enjoyed fresh for the perfect consistency.

Mermaid Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowls FAQs

Can I use green spirulina?

Blue and green spirulina do not taste the same. The mild flavour of blue spirulina is disguised by the fruit flavors. I really don’t recommend green spirulina for this recipe because it has a strong fishy smell and taste.

What’s the difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl?

Both are a thick consistency and usually fruit-based but a smoothie is a drink while a smoothie bowl has toppings such as whole fresh berries, banana slices, nuts, or whatever else, so it needs to be eaten with a spoon.
