Notes
🥡 STORAGE
- Best enjoyed immediately for the creamiest texture.
- If needed, store the blended smoothie (without toppings) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
♨️ REHEATING
- Not recommended. This recipe is meant to be enjoyed cold.
❄️ FREEZING
- Freeze the smoothie base in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- Thaw slightly and re-blend before serving for the best texture.
💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
- Use fully frozen fruit for the thickest, most scoopable consistency.
- Use the solid portion of coconut cream for a lighter, brighter blue color.
- Add liquid slowly to avoid a runny smoothie bowl.
🍳 ALTERNATE COOKING METHODS
- For a softer texture, let frozen fruit sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending.
- For a smoothie instead of a bowl, add extra coconut milk and blend until pourable.
♻️ LEFTOVERS
- Freeze leftover smoothie in popsicle molds for an easy frozen treat later.
📝 NOTES
- Blue spirulina is a coloring agent and superfood, not a flavor booster. A little goes a long way.
- Toppings can be customized based on what you have on hand or your preferred texture.
