Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
 

Creamy Base

  • 1 cup frozen banana or cauliflower for creaminess and banana-free option
  • 0.5 cup yogurt Greek or coconut
  • 0.5 cup frozen mango or other fruit for sweetness

Fresh Crunch

  • 0.25 English cucumber peeled

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup plant-based milk almond, soy, oat, or coconut

Color and Boosters

  • 1 tsp blue spirulina powder up to 2 tsp for deeper color
  • 1 handful of baby spinach optional, for added nutrients
  • 1 Medjool date optional, for sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Chill your serving glass in the freezer for five minutes to preserve the smoothie color.
  • Layer the blender: start with milk, then blue spirulina, then greens, followed by frozen fruit and yogurt.
  • Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on high for 1 minute until smooth, then back to low for 5 seconds.
  • Check thickness. Adjust with more milk if too thick, or frozen fruit if too thin.
  • Optional: Create “cloud” effect by dragging thick coconut yogurt on inside of glass before pouring smoothie.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy as a smoothie, bowl, or parfait.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for best texture. Always add spirulina after liquid to avoid clumps. Customize with your favorite toppings or protein powder for variety.
