01 -
  • You get that gorgeous Instagram-worthy presentation without any artificial dyes or complicated techniques
  • The combination of tropical fruits and plant-based protein keeps you satisfied for hours while feeling light and energized
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is absolutely essential here, fresh fruit will make the mixture too thin and soupy
  • The spirulina flavor is quite earthy on its own, so the tropical fruits are not optional, theyre what make this bowl taste as good as it looks
03 -
  • Invest in a high-speed blender if you make smoothie bowls regularly, the difference in smoothness is dramatic
  • Work quickly once the base is poured, as it starts melting faster than you might expect
