Jumping into the world of spirulina smoothies, these amazing creations will give you an instant energy boost to keep you going throughout the day while being incredibly healthy. Not only can they satisfy your cravings for something nutritious and delicious, but also provide a range of health benefits that will leave you feeling revitalized and refreshed.
I’ve curated a mix of both mouth-watering smoothie recipes as well as visually stunning bowls that are sure to inspire your next culinary creation. Here are the standout spirulina smoothies and bowls that caught my eye:
Icy Blue Spirulina Chia Vegan Smoothie
Discover the wonders of Spirulina, a nutrient-dense superfood that’s taking the health world by storm! If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, let me tell you – this tiny algae has some impressive credentials. According to LiveScience, Spirulina is packed with an array of essential nutrients, including calcium, niacin, potassium, magnesium, B vitamins, and iron. But that’s not all – it also contains vital amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
Spirulina is a type of cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, that thrives in both fresh and salt water environments. When combined with other healthy ingredients in a smoothie bowl, the result is a nutritious meal that’s not only delicious but also low in calories – making it an excellent option for those following a strict diet. Take our chia vegan smoothie as inspiration, which pays homage to the iconic children’s book ‘The Rainbow Fish’ with its intricate design created by black sesame seeds.
Not only is this smoothie visually stunning, but it’s also incredibly easy to prepare and bursting with goodness.
Almond Butter and Spirulina Smoothie Bowl
Making the most of my latest smoothie bowl creation, I’m thrilled to share with you The Forked Spoon’s newest recipe that combines the richness of Almond Butter with the freshness of a classic smoothie. This recipe was my first foray into using Almond Butter in a smoothie bowl, and trust me, it won’t be my last!
The addition of this creamy ingredient not only keeps me fuller but also energizes me throughout the day, while its sweet and nutty flavor elevates the overall taste experience to new heights. What I love most about this recipe is that it’s reminiscent of an acai bowl, with the crunch of nuts on top adding a delightful textural element. But unlike a traditional acai bowl, this recipe boasts simplicity in its ingredient list, making it easy and affordable to recreate at home.
And don’t even get me started on how to pronounce ‘acai’ – I’ve been practicing my Tom-oh-tay pronunciation skills!
Apple Smoothie Bowl
Often associated with cozy sweaters and warm lattes, autumn can be a challenging time to maintain a healthy diet. The shift from summer’s fresh produce to heartier, more comforting foods can leave even the most devoted health enthusiasts feeling stuck. However, there are ways to bring the flavors of the season into your smoothies without sacrificing nutrition. Case in point: this delightful blend of pumpkin, ginger, and apple.
Not only is it a delicious way to warm up on a chilly fall morning, but each ingredient has its own unique health benefits. Pumpkin, rich in fiber and antioxidants, is an excellent addition to any smoothie. Spirulina adds an extra boost of nutrition, while the apple and ginger provide a natural sweetness and spice that makes this drink truly special.
Whether you’re looking for a post-leaf-raking pick-me-up or simply want to celebrate the flavors of autumn in a healthy way, this recipe is sure to hit the spot.

The addition of peas may seem unusual at first, but trust me when I say that the sweetness of the pineapple and stevia perfectly balances out their earthy flavor.

Rooted in childhood memories of playing amidst acres of lush blueberry fields in Michigan’s picturesque landscape, it was no wonder that the sweetness of those little gems had a lasting impact on me.

Banana Whip
Keen on exploring the world of bananas, I’ve had a lifelong friendship with them that’s been quite fascinating. Growing up, my parents recalled that when I was young, I didn’t take to bananas initially. However, they gave me space for a couple of years before reintroducing them into my diet. When I was about four years old, they tried to persuade me by saying, ‘honey, how could you not like bananas? They’re always smiling at you!
‘ This time around, I took to them and since then, bananas have been a daily staple in my life. Then, during my college days, I came across the ‘banana girl,’ Freelee, who allegedly consumes 12-15 bananas a day. Although this diet may seem extreme, it piqued my interest, and I decided to emulate her for two weeks. However, I soon realized that sustaining such a high banana intake was not feasible, so I indulged in some ice cream and pizza.
Despite the temporary detour, I still enjoy bananas immensely. If you’re a fan of smoothie bowls with a hint of banana flavoring, this recipe is sure to delight! As one of my favorite recipes, I’ve had it almost weekly, and for good reason – it’s an extremely healthy and delicious option that I’m confident you’ll love.
