Begin your day with a refreshing and nutritious Creamy Blue Spirulina Smoothie. This vibrant smoothie not only captivates with its stunning blue hue but also packs a punch of flavor and health benefits. Blue spirulina, a powerhouse of nutrients, elevates your breakfast into a delicious and energizing experience.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk, such as oat or coconut milk)
1 ripe banana (make sure it’s spotty for maximum sweetness and creaminess)
1 tablespoon blue spirulina powder (ensure it's from a reputable brand to guarantee quality and safety)
1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter for a different flavor)
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks (adds tropical sweetness and a hint of tartness)
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks (known for their creamy texture that blends well)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for extra nutrition)
Instructions
In your blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk, ripe banana, and blue spirulina powder. Blend on high speed until smooth and the mixture is a vibrant blue color, about 30 seconds.
Add in the almond butter and continue to blend until well combined.
Toss in the frozen pineapple and mango chunks. Blend again until everything is thoroughly mixed and creamy, approximately 30-45 seconds.
If using chia seeds, add them now and pulse the blender just a couple of times to mix them in.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency and blend briefly to combine.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl or glass and arrange the toppings in a visually appealing manner.
