For a while now I have been a huge fan of smoothie bowls, I've turned my sisters and my friends onto them. They are a great way to get in your fruits and vegetable servings without it feeling like a huge chore or having to force yourself. Lately there has been this trend of blue or "mermaid" smoothie bowls, and we'll since I myself am a mermaid I just had to try one. So I scoured through tons of Instagram posts and Pinterest pins looking for the perfect one to try, but it was all to no avail. None of them sounded like they would taste very good or had a bunch or weird stuff in it that would be way to hard to find or purchase and I'm not calling myself a broke girl's guide for nothing. Instead I decided to just try the ingredients that I knew would go well together and would taste just as good as it sounded.
The only ingredient that can be a bit pricy is the Spirulina or the Blue Green Algae, luckily from the good old days at Spouts I had some that I had gotten for pretty cheap. Other than that everything you will need might already be in your refrigerator!
The recipe I used for my Mermaid Smoothie Bowl is:
1 frozen banana
1 frozen green apple
1 frozen pear
4 frozen peach slices
1/2 cup of green grapes
1/4 cup of almond milk
1/4 cup of low-fat yoghurt
2 tablets of Blue Green Algae
or
1 tsp of Spirulina (mix in slowly to get desired color)
Juice of half of a lemon to help counter the taste of the Spirulina
*top off with blueberries, sliced banana, grapes, chia seeds,and coconut flakes
I was very very skeptical before I tasted it because I had no idea how it would go but I was pleasantly surprised and loved how it tasted and I hope that you do too!
