Bowl full of blue smoothie and topped with granola and raspberries.

I first had a Mermaid Smoothie Bowl a couple of months ago. Immediately, I fell in love and started experimenting on how to make it at home.

You guys are going to be surprised at how easy smoothie bowls are to make. You’ll pay $8 to $12 at a restaurant or juice bar for the exact same concoction!

What is a Superfood Mermaid Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowl?

Someone at some point deemed bluish green smoothies ‘Mermaid’ smoothies, obviously because they’re blue like mermaids. If you believe in mermaids.🧜‍♀️ Similarly, all things pink-blue-purple are named ‘Unicorn’. 🦄

A smoothie bowl starts with frozen fruits or veggies that are mixed until smooth with the thickness and consistency of ice cream. Whereas, a smoothie is thinner and usually sipped with a straw. I prefer smoothie bowls because they’re more satisfying and feels like I’ve eaten something versus just drinking something.

I like to use frozen bananas because they blend into a creamy consistency (like ice cream), not an icy consistency (like a slushy).

When you reach a certain age, it seems you gain weight when you breathe! However, smoothie bowls fill me up without filling me out! They’re healthy and satisfying. As well, Superfood Mermaid Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowl is slightly sweet from the fruit and satisfies my sweet tooth. I have one for breakfast every day now. As well, when I want a dessert and don’t want to blow my diet I whip up a smoothie bowl.

What makes it so blue?

The one ingredient that gives this Mermaid Smoothie Bowl its name and makes it blue is Blue Spirulina.

Blue Spirulina is a blue pigment derived from blue-green algae. It is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage. Also, it has an abundance of B vitamins which enhances energy levels, boosts the immune system, increases metabolism, and improves digestion! Hence, it’s considered a superfood because of all the dense nutritional value in it.

Blue Spirulina has a neutral, slightly bitter taste. However, I find the bitterness is really undetectable when blended with fruit.

Blue Spirulina is available in powder form at most health food stores. I ordered it here on Amazon. While it’s slightly expensive, $29.99 for 1.76-ounce, this package will last a long time. I only use 1/2 teaspoon in my Superfood Mermaid Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowl. Considering a Mermaid Smoothie Bowl will cost upwards of $8 to purchase, you’ll recoup the cost after making your smoothie bowls at home after just a few.

Purchase Blue Spirulina powder here.

Also noteworthy, do not get the green spirulina. Green spirulina has a disgusting strong fishy smell. It’s cheaper, but I promise it’s not worth the savings. I could not eat green spirulina!

How do I make a smoothie bowl?

  1. You want to start with frozen fruit. I purchase bananas in bulk when they’re on sale and freeze them. Be sure to read my tips How to freeze bananas for smoothies. I purchase frozen mangos because they’re usually cheaper than freezing fresh mangos.
  2. All you do is add the bananas, mangos, blue spirulina powder, and almond milk to the Nutribullet and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and top with as much or as little toppings that you want.
  3. I have this Nutribullet, but you can use a high-powered blender.
  4. Finally, you can add unflavored protein powder to your smoothie for extra nutrients. Be sure to use unflavored.
  5. Toppings suggestions. Try almonds, granola, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, coconut, hemp seeds, and a drizzle of honey.

 

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on products used. I didn’t calculate toppings in the nutritional analysis of this recipe.

    My smoothie came out very green. The only thing I did different is that I used Milkadamia milk instead of Almondmilk. Do these proportions always give you that baby-blue color? Logically, I would think green would be the outcome because orange (the mango) + yellow (banana) + blue = green, so I’m baffled how you got yours to be blue!

      Yes, it’s always been blue. Did you use blue spirulina? there’s green spirulina but it tastes awful

        Hi Paula. Yes, I use blue spirulina. I finally got mine to work. This time, I used way less mango and lot more banana’s, so that there would be less orange impact. Worked perfect. Very strange. Maybe our mango’s here in HI are more orange in color then elsewhere! Anyway, thank you for the great recipe. It’s delicious and the ocean-theme I made for my niece was super-cute.

      You can use other fruits but it won’t taste like this. I was trying to copy this exact flavor and this combo was what worked.
