A quick and easy tropical smoothie that blends blue spirulina with creamy coconut milk and fresh fruit for a nourishing energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp blue spirulina powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk or carton coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)
  • Shredded coconut or toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana. Measure out the frozen pineapple chunks and coconut milk.
  2. In your blender, combine the banana, frozen pineapple (1/2 cup / 75g), and 1 cup (240 ml) of coconut milk. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of blue spirulina powder to the blender. Blend again on medium speed for 10-15 seconds. Be careful not to over-blend to preserve the color.
  4. Pour in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice. Blend briefly (5 seconds) just to combine.
  5. Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, then blend for a few seconds.
  6. For a thicker and colder smoothie, toss in a handful of ice cubes and blend until crushed and combined.
  7. Pour into your favorite glass and garnish with shredded or toasted coconut flakes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add spirulina powder last and blend briefly to preserve its vibrant blue color. Use frozen fruit for best texture and chill. Fresh lime juice is essential for bright flavor. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes for crunch and aroma. If using fresh pineapple, add ice cubes to keep smoothie chilled.
