Green Smoothie Bowl with Spirulina (Printable Version)

Creamy spirulina and banana bowl topped with hemp seeds, granola and berries for a quick, energizing breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 ripe bananas, frozen and sliced

02 - 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed

03 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)

04 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

05 - 1 teaspoon spirulina powder

06 - 2 tablespoons hemp seeds

07 - 1/2 banana, sliced

08 - 1/2 cup granola (use gluten-free if needed)

09 - 1/4 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or combination)

10 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)

01 - Add the frozen banana slices, spinach leaves, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and spirulina powder to a high-speed blender.

02 - Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Add an extra splash of almond milk if a thinner consistency is desired.

03 - Pour the blended smoothie base evenly into two serving bowls.

04 - Top each bowl with hemp seeds, sliced banana, granola, fresh berries, and shredded coconut as desired.

05 - Enjoy right away while the smoothie base is still cold and thick for the best texture.

01 -

The color alone is worth it, a jaw dropping teal that makes you feel like you are eating something magical.
It takes exactly ten minutes from fridge to bowl, which is faster than deciding what to wear.
Spirulina quietly delivers a massive nutrient boost without tasting like a health food store.

02 -

Overdoing the spirulina turns the bowl bitter and frankly unpalatable, so stick to one teaspoon until you know your tolerance.
Frozen bananas are the entire backbone of the creamy texture, so never use fresh ones for the base or you will end up with a sad green soup.

03 -

Freeze your bananas in a single layer on a parchment lined tray before bagging them so they do not fuse into an unblenderable brick.
Pre sweetened milks can sneak up on you, so always taste the base before adding maple syrup.
