Description
This Blue Spirulina Smoothie, also known as the ‘Cloud Smoothie,’ is a vibrant and creamy tropical drink featuring mango, pineapple, banana, and coconut yogurt. Packed with nutrients and naturally sweetened, it’s a quick and refreshing breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 medium banana, frozen in chunks
- ½ cup plain coconut yogurt, divided
- ½ cup unsweetened soy milk (or other plant milk)
- ½ cup frozen mango
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 2 teaspoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
- ¼ cup ice (optional)
- Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Freeze banana chunks for at least 20 minutes or overnight.
- Use the back of a spoon to spread half of the coconut yogurt inside a smoothie glass to create a cloud effect.
- In a blender, combine the remaining yogurt, frozen banana, mango, pineapple, soy milk, almond butter, blue spirulina, and ice.
- Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth. Add a splash of water if needed to adjust consistency.
- Pour into the prepared glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Swap banana with half a ripe avocado for a creamy alternative.
- Use any plain yogurt or plant-based yogurt instead of coconut yogurt.
- Other plant milks like almond or oat milk work well in place of soy milk.
- Substitute almond butter with peanut or sunflower seed butter, or omit for a lighter drink.
- Best consumed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
