Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) frozen blueberries
- 1 medium ripe banana (frozen for extra thickness, optional)
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat recommended)
- 1 teaspoon spirulina powder (organic, high-quality)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the ripe banana and measure out the frozen blueberries, coconut milk, and spirulina powder. Squeeze fresh lemon juice just before blending.
- Place frozen blueberries and peeled banana into the blender.
- Add 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of spirulina powder over the mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Blend starting on low speed, then increase to high. Blend until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks, about 1-2 minutes.
- Optionally, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and pulse a few seconds to mix evenly without crushing them too much.
- Check consistency and taste; add more coconut milk if too thick, or more lemon juice or sweetener if needed.
- Serve immediately in a glass or mason jar, garnished with fresh blueberries or a sprig of mint.
Notes
Use frozen fruit to keep smoothie thick and chilled without watering down. Fresh lemon juice balances spirulina’s earthiness. Start with 1 teaspoon spirulina to avoid overpowering taste. For colder smoothie, freeze banana beforehand or add ice cubes. Avoid over-blending chia seeds to maintain texture.
