Mermaid Smoothie Bowl (Blue-Green, Vegan, No Sugar, Oil or Salt Added)
Dive into this vibrant Mermaid Smoothie Bowl, a beautiful blue-green blend that’s as nourishing as it is eye-catching. Made with antioxidant-rich spirulina, omega-3-packed chia seeds, creamy banana, refreshing citrus, and soy milk for plant-based protein, this bowl is a nutrient-dense powerhouse. You can also top the bowl as you like, with berries, coconut, and cocoa nibs for even more great taste and powerful nutrition. Naturally free from added oil, sugar, or salt, it’s perfect for your healthy eating style, or simply starting your morning with something magical. Easy to make, refreshing, and delicious—this smoothie bowl is a healthy treat that looks as amazing as it tastes!
Go ahead and take a refreshing dip into a healthy, delicious, plant-based bowl today! This Mermaid Smoothie Bowl is completely plant-based (vegan and vegetarian) and gluten-free. A touch of spirulina—a nutrient-packed, blue green algae–gives this smoothie bowl its pure ocean color and nutrition punch. I’m a fan of including algae, such as seaweed and spirulina, in the diet more often as a sustainable source of nutrition. In fact, I was asked to write an article on algae in the summer 2020 issue of Oprah Magazine, where I shared my tips for including more healthy foods from the sea in your diet. You can also check out my blogs on spirulina and seaweed for even more health information and cooking tips.
Just whip up these six simple ingredients and you’ll have a healthy, flavorful breakfast, mini-meal, or hearty snack ready in minutes. While you can enjoy this smoothie bowl right away, for best results, make it the day before and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight so the chia seeds gel in order to create a pudding-like, creamy texture.
