Pink Mermaid Smoothie Bowl

This pink mermaid smoothie bowl is a super fun breakfast recipe! My mermaid smoothie bowl is made with just a few simple and healthy ingredients: frozen pineapple, frozen banana, black goji berry powder, and a splash of plant milk.

I topped my mermaid smoothie bowl with a few fun ingredients that reminded me of a tropical island: kiwi balls, hemp seeds, mermaid tails, sea shells, and coquitos. I get asked about coquitos a lot. Coquitos are basically just mini coconuts! Coquitos are pretty hard, but you can actually eat the whole thing and they are a great source of fat.

The mermaid tails and sea shells are totally edible! I made them with just yogurt and some super food coloring. Read below to learn how to easily make healthy edible mermaid tails and shells for your smoothie bowls!

You can also eat this mermaid smoothie bowl as a healthy dessert recipe if you love sorbet! Whatever way you enjoy my mermaid smoothie recipe, it's totally healthy for you. Let's get started!

HOW TO MAKE A MERMAID SMOOTHIE BOWL

You can make this mermaid smoothie bowl recipe blue or pink. The mermaid tails are optional but make such a fun decoration!

STEP 1: MAKE MERMAID TAIL AND SEASHELLS

I get asked all the time how I make mermaid tails for my smoothie bowls. And I get asked if they are edible. My mermaid tails are not only super easy to make, but they are totally edible too.

What you need to make a mermaid tail:

• Yogurt or kefir (any kind but keep in mind the color of it)
• Super food powders (goji for purple & pink, beet root for red & pink, blue spirulina for blue, etc.)
• Silicone mermaid tail molds

Firstly to make your mermaid tail, mix together a small amount of yogurt or kefir with the super food color you want. Depending on what color smoothie I'm making, I use many different kinds of super food powders. If you are just starting, I would start with a vanilla (white) yogurt and add in colors to see what you get. But, as you learn to mix the colors you like, you can really use any flavor of yogurt! For this mermaid tail, I used a strawberry yogurt (pink) and made half of it a darker shade of pink with my black goji berry powder.

Carefully spoon your yogurt mixture into your mermaid tail mold. Tap the mold gently against the counter to make sure that all the grooves are filled and there are no bubbles or air pockets.

Place your mold into the freezer and freeze over night.

Use your edible mermaid tails on any smoothie bowl, chia parfait, or dessert recipe!

STEP 2: MAKE THE MERMAID SMOOTHIE BOWL

In a blender, add a splash of milk. I like to put my liquid at the bottom of the blender because it seems to help loosen up the frozen fruit more than adding it on top.

Next, add

• 2 cups of frozen pineapple
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 ½ teaspoon of black goji berry powder for pink
• or 1 ½ blue spirulina powder for blue

Blend your smoothie until it is smooth and creamy and no frozen chunks of fruit remain.

Finally, scoop your smoothie into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings! If you want to add more fat & protein to your smoothie bowl, try any kind of nuts, seeds, or nut butters.
