Why You Will Love This Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowl

One of the main reasons why I personally love this smoothie bowl is how vibrantly beautiful it looks.

My friends are so jealous when I share pictures of it on my social media channel.

But, that’s not all: 

1. Vibrant Color: Blue spirulina gives the smoothie bowl a vibrant and appealing blue color that is visually striking. This can make it especially popular on social media. Trust me, your friend would want the recipe!
2. Nutrient Density: The smoothie is packed with vitamins and minerals. It includes high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and calcium, along with beneficial nutrients from blue spirulina such as iron and protein. 
3. Antioxidant-Rich: The blueberries and mango offer a rich source of antioxidants.
4. Energy Boosting: The natural sugars and carbohydrates from the bananas and mangoes provide a quick source of energy, making this smoothie bowl an excellent choice for breakfast or a pre-workout meal.
5. Dietary Flexibility: This smoothie bowl is suitable for various diets, including vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it accessible to a wide range of people with dietary restrictions or preferences.
6. Satiety and Digestive Health: The smoothie bowl is high in dietary fiber, which promotes satiety and can help manage hunger, making it a good option for weight loss. Fiber also supports digestive health.
7. Simple and Quick Preparation: The smoothie bowl is easy to prepare, requiring just a blender and a few minutes. 
8. Customizable: It serves as a great base that can be topped with a variety of toppings such as nuts, seeds, fruits, or granola, allowing people to customize the taste and texture according to their preferences.
9. Creamy Texture: The nut butter and banana gives the smoothie bowl a creamy, satisfying texture that enhances the eating experience.

Smoothie Bowl Variations, Recipe Notes And Tips:

If you like experimenting, or simply have to swap ingredients, you can do so on your own will, or try some of my tested suggestions below:

• Boost With Protein: If you are not avoiding dairy, add 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt. Adjust the almond milk to 1/4 cup though. 
• Swap The Base: Use thick coconut milk or oat milk instead of almond.
• Add Seeds: Add a spoonful of chia or flaxseeds for extra goodness!
• No Banana: Swap the banana slices for extra mango or use pineapple instead. 
• Make It Sweeter: You can add a tablespoon of maple syrup for extra sweetness!
• Swap The Nut Butter: If you don’t have any almond or cashew butter, peanut butter can work just fine!
