1. Under the Sea Smoothie Bowl
Materials:
- Seashell chocolate molds
- Microwavable bowl
- Ziplock Plastic Bag
- Scissor
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Blender
- Bowl for smoothie
Ingredients:
For the Smoothie Base:
- 2 frozen bananas (be sure to peel the bananas before freezing)
- 1 cup frozen mango
- 1 handful frozen pineapple
- ½ cup coconut milk (can substitute with milk of choice)
- ½ tsp Spirulina Powder
For the Toppings:
- White chocolate wafers/melting chocolates
- Kiwi
- Banana
- Blueberries
- Shredded coconut
- Quinoa Pops (can substitute with Rice Krispies)
How to:
For the Chocolate Seashells:
Step 1: Place chocolate wafers in a microwavable bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds on low-medium heat (Power Level 50). Stir the chocolate wafers and microwave as needed for 15 seconds on low-medium heat until chocolate is melted.
Step 2: Pour the melted chocolate into a ziplock plastic bag, moving the chocolate towards one corner of the bag. Use your scissor and cut a small hole in that corner to create a piping bag.
Step 3: Squeeze the chocolate into the mold carefully. Once the mold is mostly filled, pick up the mold and lightly tap against the table. This will allow the chocolate to spread out and fill the small designs in the mold.
Step 4: Once all the molds are filled, put aside to set. You can also put in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
For the Toppings:
Step 1: Rinse blueberries and kiwi and set blueberries aside.
Step 2: Dice kiwi and slice bananas into thin slices.
Step 3: Set toppings aside until ready for use.
For the Under the Sea Smoothie Bowl Base:
Combine frozen bananas, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, coconut milk, and spirulina powder into blender.
Blend until smooth. Add coconut milk as needed if the ingredients are not blending. Add additional spirulina powder as needed to get to the blue color desired.
Make sure the smoothie is thick to ensure the toppings do not sink.
Assembly:
Step 1: Pour the smoothie into your bowl and using a spoon, smooth out so that the smoothie is flat.
Step 2: Sprinkle the shredded coconut on half of the bowl.
Step 3: On the side with the shredded coconut, carefully arrange the bananas slices along the edges of the bowl.
Step 4: Carefully arrange the chocolate seashells, blueberries, and kiwi as desired.
Step 5: Sprinkle the quinoa pops to finish.
Voilà! Enjoy your delicious, and beautiful Under the Sea Smoothie Bowl!
