Instructions

1. Prepare the purple smoothie

• In a blender, add the frozen banana, frozen blueberries, yogurt, and about ½ cup of milk.

• Blend until very thick and smooth.

• Add milk gradually if needed—aim for a spoonable, ice-cream-like texture.

• Set aside.

2. Prepare the yellow smoothie

• Rinse the blender quickly.

• Add frozen mango (or pineapple), a small splash of milk, and honey if desired.

• Blend until thick and creamy, similar in consistency to the blueberry mixture.

3. Create the swirl

• Spoon the blueberry smoothie into a bowl, spreading it evenly.

• Add spoonfuls of the mango smoothie on top.

• Use the back of a spoon or a toothpick to gently swirl the two colors together for a marbled effect.

4. Add toppings

• Arrange banana slices in a line across the bowl.

• Add fresh blueberries on the side.

• Garnish with edible flowers or seeds if using.

5. Serve

• Serve immediately while cold and thick.

• Eat with a spoon and enjoy the creamy texture.

Tips for Best Results

• Use frozen fruit only for the best thick consistency.

• Do not over-blend; stop as soon as smooth to keep the bowl thick.

• For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.

• For extra protein, add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder.
