Vibrant ocean-inspired bowl with antioxidants, fiber and plant-based protein for weight loss.

# What You Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 frozen banana
02 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
03 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon plant-based vanilla protein powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon blue spirulina

→ Toppings

09 - 1/4 cup kiwi, sliced
10 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
11 - 1/4 cup dragon fruit, cubed or balled
12 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
13 - 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
14 - Edible flowers

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Combine frozen banana, pineapple chunks, mango chunks, almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder, spirulina, and blue spirulina in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
02 - Check the texture and add a splash more liquid if the mixture is too thick to blend properly. The final consistency should be thicker than a standard smoothie but pourable.
03 - Divide the smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface and create an even base for toppings.
04 - Artfully arrange sliced kiwi, fresh blueberries, dragon fruit pieces, coconut flakes, and hemp seeds on top of each bowl in sections or patterns. Add edible flowers as a finishing touch for visual appeal.
05 - Enjoy the smoothie bowl right away with a spoon while the base remains frozen and thick. Do not let it sit at room temperature as it will melt quickly.
