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.
