# What You’ll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
04 - 1 tablespoon blue spirulina powder
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup

→ Toppings

07 - 1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced

10 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
11 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
13 - Edible flowers or mint leaves for garnish

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place frozen pineapple, banana, coconut milk, blue spirulina powder, chia seeds, and maple syrup into a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add a small splash of coconut milk only if necessary to facilitate blending, maintaining a thick consistency.
02 - Divide the vibrant blue smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to scrape all contents from the blender.
03 - Arrange fresh diced pineapple and blueberries over one half of each smoothie bowl, distributing evenly between servings.
04 - Sprinkle granola, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and hemp seeds over the remaining portion of each bowl, creating visual contrast and varied texture.
05 - Top with edible flowers or fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately with spoons while the smoothie base maintains its thick, frosty consistency.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The vibrant blue color makes breakfast feel like eating a work of art

02 -
  • Spirulina can stain clothing and countertops, so blend carefully
