A Taste of Tropical Bliss

This yummy Banana Ocean Smoothie Bowl takes you to the beach. This colorful dessert brings the feeling of a carefree beach day with its mix of frozen fruits. Each bowl is a creamy banana creation, arranged to look like a gentle ocean and beach.

Ingredients

3-4 ripe bananas

2-3 shortbread cookies

7-8 canned pineapple rings

1 tsp. blue sprinkles

4-5 chocolate shells or edible candy shells

5-7 small pebble candies

white chocolate drops

2 drops of blue food coloring

Directions

1. Blot pineapples from remaining syrup and cut into small pieces. Slice the peeled bananas similarly. Place fruit in ziplock bags or a freezer-safe container. Leave the fruit in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

2. Break the cookies randomly and place in the bowl of a blender. Grind the cookies into crumbs. Set the crumbs aside on a serving plate.

3. Place frozen fruit in blender. Drop in the coloring and turn on the blender. For a delicate texture, a little water (2-3 tbsp) at room temperature or vegan milk can be added to the mixture.

4. Chill the bowls in the freezer beforehand. Spoon the smoothie into the bowl. Use a tablespoon to make fancy “waves.” Add cookie crumbs – sand. Arrange candy canes. Sprinkle with blue sprinkles.

Your creamy, exotic ice cream flavored dessert is ready. Serve it for breakfast or a snack and get ready to receive compliments.

Other Add Ons:

1. For a heartier option, add soaked rolled oats or chia seeds. 

2. Add flavor – any other frozen fruit, or a bit of cinnamon, cardamom, or a teaspoon of maple syrup.

3. For a more delicate texture, add half of the avocado puree to the smoothie.

Tips for the Perfect Smoothie Bowl

Bananas: For the sweetest and most tender smoothie, choose ripe bananas with dark spots. These are naturally sweeter and provide a creamy texture.

Pineapple: Opt for already peeled or canned pineapple in light syrup for ease of preparation. If you’re looking for a natural color boost, you can use a small amount of food coloring or natural alternatives like spirulina or matcha powder.

Customization: Feel free to adjust the color and ingredients to match your health preferences and personal taste. For a healthier option, opt for natural colorants instead of artificial dyes.
