    How to Enjoy this Smoothie Bowl

    Adding Blue Spirulina to your smoothie bowl adds all the health qualities of a superfood. You only need a small amount of this powder to get the benefits. It is so nutrient dense that it is one of THE BEST superfoods you can implement into your diet. 

    This is a great option for breakfast or a midday snack. This magical superfood will add a pop of vibrant blue to your food creations. Blend it into your smoothies, breakfast bowls, lattes, and more!

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for Blue Smoothie Bowl.
    • Frozen Peaches – This will help create a thicker texture to the smoothie bowl while still maintaining that flavor. 
    • Fresh and Frozen Bananas – Sweet bananas help to balance out flavor, the frozen bananas will help make a creamy and thick texture. 
    • Mangos – Another great way to get the preferred texture and add some extra sweetness.
    • Blue Spirulina Powder – Packed full of nutrients. 
    • Greek Yogurt (Use almond milk if you want dairy-free) – The yogurt gives that creaminess to the smoothie bowl. 
    • Orange Juice – This will add sweetness and some extra nutrients to the smoothie bowl. 
    • Granola – This will give texture to the smoothie bowl. 
    • Blackberries – A great way to add some berry goodness. 
    • Hemp Seeds (optional) – They are a great source of magnesium and another way to add extra nutrients to this delicious smoothie bowl.

    Variations & Substitutions

    • When it comes to making this smoothie bowl your own there are some amazing substitutions and variations that you have to try. Here are some of my favorites but reach out in the comments if you have tried something that works. 
    • Swap out the Greek yogurt – You can use almond milk instead or choose your favorite plant-based milk or yogurt to make this smoothie bowl vegan-friendly. 
    • Frozen mango – I have used fresh mango pieces but you can use frozen mango instead. 
    • Different berries – I loved using blackberries as a topping for my smoothie bowl but strawberries and raspberries would equally work well. 
    • Granola – You could use your favorite store-bought granola or have a go at making your own. You could also use other cereals as toppings if you wish. 
    • Orange juice – If you don’t have any orange juice or want to be consistent with flavors, then mango juice is a great substitution. Apple juice will also work well. 

    Smoothie Bowl Instructions

    • In the blender container, place the peach, banana, mango, spirulina, yogurt or almond milk, and orange juice. Blend until you have a smooth texture like ice cream.
    • Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Garnish with granola, blackberries and mango.

    Recipe Notes & Tips

    It’s always good to have some extra tips and tricks to ensure that you can make this simple, or get the best out of a recipe. So here are some of my top tips:

    • Don’t add ice to the smoothie bowl – While you may ordinarily do this for smoothies, the ice will water down the smoothie bowl. You want a thicker consistency. 
    • For extra thickness always use frozen fruit. 
    • Get creative with your toppings – Add different flavors and textures for a taste sensation.

    Blue Smoothie FAQ’s

    What is Blue Spirulina?

    It is a Blue algae rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage. It is full of B vitamins which elevate your energy levels, help the immune system, increase metabolism, and improve digestion! A win in my book.

    What is the difference between a Smoothie and Smoothie Bowl?

    A smoothie is usually gulped down very quickly. It is smooth and creamy and full of vitamins. The Smoothie Bowl is more of a meal with more fiber. It is for the die-hard cereal eater. It has toppings with lots of texture. It will usually keep you satisfied longer during the day.

    What are the best toppings for a Smoothie Bowl?

    Generally, there are granola, fresh fruits, seeds, or coconut flakes.

    How can I thicken my Smoothie bowl without using Yogurt or dairy ingredients?

    You can use frozen fruit to make the smoothie thicker. You can also add protein powder or collagen. Use almond milk or orange juice as the liquid. Do not add ice, like you might in a regular smoothie drink.
