Ingredients
3-4 ripe bananas

white chocolate drops
2 drops of blue food coloring
Directions

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.

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.
