Unicorn Smoothie
Make this wow-style smoothie bowl with added health benefits.
A dreamy blue drink
Imade this smoothie bowl with The Tea Thief’s Tickety-brew tea. That’s what gives this the blue unicorn colour – and a fresh, earthy delicious subtle lavender taste. The naturally blue calming tea boasts antioxidants.
You can devour this smoothie bowl just as it is. But the topping brings it to the next level. Seek out Bay of Plentygrown Eureka Blueberries, which are available in season in supermarkets. They’re bumper-sized, crunchy and so fresh and full of flavour. If they’re not in season, then frozen blueberries are fine too. My son Finn has blueberries in his smoothie every morning so I keep blueberries in my freezer all year round.
Blue Unicorn Dream Bowl
Serves 1 Smoothie
1 tsp butterfly pea powder tea in 1 cup of hot water, cooled (see note below)
5 ice cubes
1 frozen banana 1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla bean powder
Topping
½ cup Eureka Blueberries two sprigs mint
Place all the smoothie ingredients into a blender and mix. Pour into a bowl (or two small bowls) and then add the toppings.
Note: I used a teaspoon of the Tea Thief’s Tickety-Brew organic butterfly blue pea flower, ginger and lavender tea. Once cooled, I used the dark blue liquid to make this smoothie bowl. Alternatively, use spirulina powder in 1 cup of water for this recipe – I recommend Tahi Spirulina, a high-quality NZ brand.
