Why Blue Spirulina?

Apart from turning your smoothie into a stunning sky-blue hue, blue spirulina is a nutritional powerhouse! It's packed with antioxidants and other goodies that make this smoothie both beautiful and beneficial.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 teaspoon blue spirulina powder

  • 2 frozen bananas

  • 150ml milk of your choice (dairy-free works wonders!)

  • Drizzle of honey (adjust to your sweet tooth)

  • 1 heaped tablespoon of your favorite yogurt (Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess!)

Let's Get Blending!

  1. The Base: Pop those frozen bananas into your blender. The frozen banana is key to that thick, smoothie-like texture.

  2. Liquid Gold (and White): Pour in your milk and add that heaped tablespoon of yogurt. If you like it sweeter, add a drizzle of honey!

  3. The Magic Blue Dust: Now for the star of the show: Add the blue spirulina powder. Watch as your mixture transforms into a vibrant blue!

  4. Blend it Up: Blend everything until it's super smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk.

  5. Cloudy Swirls: This is where the magic happens! Use a spoon to dollop some extra yogurt on the sides of your serving glass. This creates those gorgeous white "cloud" effects.

  6. Pour the Sky: Gently pour the blue smoothie mixture into the glass, letting it swirl with the yogurt.

  7. Top it Off: Drizzle a little extra honey on top for added sweetness and a final flourish.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Frozen is Key: Using frozen bananas is essential for a thick, creamy, and cold smoothie.

  • Milk Alternatives: Feel free to use almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or any other milk alternative you love.

  • Sweetness Control: Adjust the amount of honey to your liking. You can also use other sweeteners like maple syrup or agave.

  • Yogurt Power: Greek yogurt will make your smoothie extra thick and creamy, but any yogurt will work.

  • Get Creative: Add other fruits like pineapple or mango for extra flavor.

There you have it – a delicious and visually stunning Blue Spirulina Cloud Smoothie! Perfect for a healthy breakfast, a refreshing snack, or a fun dessert. Enjoy your taste of the sky! 😋
