# Components:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 frozen banana
02 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
03 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon plant-based vanilla protein powder (optional)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina (optional, for extra vibrancy)

→ Toppings

09 - 1/4 cup kiwi, sliced
10 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
11 - 1/4 cup dragon fruit, cubed or balled
12 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
13 - 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
14 - Edible flowers (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Combine frozen banana, pineapple, mango, almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder if using, and spirulina in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add a splash more liquid only if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
02 - Pour the vibrant blue-green smoothie base into two serving bowls. Use the back of a spoon to smooth and level the surface, creating an even canvas for toppings.
03 - Create a whimsical mermaid-inspired pattern by arranging kiwi slices, fresh blueberries, dragon fruit cubes, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, and edible flowers across the surface. Work in sections for visual appeal—cluster colors together or create spiraling patterns for maximum Instagram impact.
04 - Enjoy your smoothie bowl right away with a spoon while it maintains its thick, creamy texture. The contrast between the cold, smooth base and fresh, crunchy toppings is best experienced immediately.
