01 -
  • This bowl packs an insane amount of nutrition into something that feels like eating dessert for breakfast
  • The vibrant blue color makes every morning feel like a tiny celebration before the world wakes up
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is non negotiable here because fresh fruit will make the base too thin and soupy
  • Spirulina has a strong earthy taste, so do not be tempted to add more than called for unless you actually enjoy that flavor
03 -
  • Let your frozen fruit sit on the counter for about 5 minutes before blending to save your blender motor
  • Use the tamper tool if your blender has one, it helps everything blend evenly without adding extra liquid
