Blue Banana Recipe

Measure

Measure and assemble all ingredients: peel the ripe banana; break frozen acai packet into pieces if solid; measure spirulina, protein, cashew butter, coconut butter, and almond milk. If coconut butter is firmly solid, warm it briefly (5–10 seconds) in the microwave to soften.

If you prefer a thicker smoothie bowl texture, freeze the banana in slices ahead of time and reduce almond milk to 3/4 cup during blending.

Combine and blend

Add almond milk to the blender first (this helps with blending), then add banana, acai puree, grass-fed whey protein, cashew butter, softened coconut butter, and blue spirulina. Add ice cubes if using. Secure the lid.

Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, until mixture is completely smooth and evenly blue with a thick, creamy consistency. If too thick, add almond milk 1–2 tbs at a time; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen banana slices and re-blend.

Taste the smoothie. If you want it sweeter, add maple syrup or honey 1 tsp at a time and pulse to combine. If brightness is desired, a squeeze of lemon (about 1/2 tsp juice) can be added — optional.

Pour the Blue Banana smoothie into a 12–16 oz glass or bowl. Top with optional banana slices, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

If not drinking immediately, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Re-stir or briefly re-blend before serving; color and texture may settle.
