🥣 Instructions
1. Blend the smoothie
Add the frozen banana, frozen fruit, almond milk, blue spirulina, and sweetener to a high-speed blender.
Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy. Stop and scrape down sides if needed.

2. Serve
Spoon the smoothie into a bowl. Swirl the surface with the back of a spoon for a smooth, glossy finish.
3. Add toppings
Top with fresh blueberries and any extra toppings you love.
🌟 Pro Tips
- Freeze the banana overnight for maximum creaminess
- Add a spoon of yogurt or coconut cream for extra richness
- Too thick? Add 1–2 tbsp milk at a time
- Too thin? Add ice or more frozen fruit
💙 What Is Blue Spirulina?
Blue spirulina is a natural extract from spirulina algae.
It’s flavor-neutral, rich in antioxidants (phycocyanin), and gives this bowl its stunning blue color—without artificial dyes.
