A thick and creamy vegan vanilla smoothie with swirls of Blue Spirulina yoghurt around the glass. Simple, naturally vibrant and almost too pretty to drink.
Prep: 5 minutes
Serves: 1
Ingredients
For the blue smudge
- 2 tbsp thick coconut yoghurt
- ¼ tsp Just Blends Blue Spirulina Powder
For the smoothie
- 1 frozen banana
- ¾ cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
- ¼ cup thick coconut yoghurt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼–½ tsp Just Blends Blue Spirulina Powder
- ½ cup ice
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup, optional
Method
- Make the blue smudge. Mix the coconut yoghurt with Blue Spirulina Powder until you have a rich blue yoghurt.
- Using the back of a teaspoon, roughly smear the blue yoghurt around the inside of a clear glass. Don't make it perfect — irregular swirls give you the effect in the photo.
- Add the frozen banana, plant milk, coconut yoghurt, vanilla, Blue Spirulina and ice to a blender.
- Blend until very thick, smooth and creamy. Add a splash more plant milk only if needed.
- Gently pour the smoothie into the prepared glass so you don't completely disturb the blue yoghurt swirls.
- Serve immediately with a reusable glass straw.
