This smoothie bowl is a breeze to make and will make you feel like you’re sitting beachside in Hawaii under a gently swaying coconut tree. This bowl is all about good vibes and better than good nutrition! It’s super nutritious. Blue spirulina is said to be the world’s most nutritious food per gram.

Enjoy!
