This 5-minute refreshing and pretty blue spirulina coconut smoothie will make you feel like you are in paradise, and it’s packed with superfoods and all the gorgeous beneficial vitamins and minerals your body will dance for. This fruity smoothie has become my summer go-to for breakfast in the morning, filled with detoxifying nutrients from the blue spirulina and lots of yummy fruit like coconut, blueberries, and kiwi, plus chia seeds. It leaves you feeling nourished and refreshed and not leaving that heavy feeling that some breakfast items have. Plus, it takes only 5 minutes to make. So let’s start Summer off feeling great!

Let’s time ourselves here to see how fast this can go! Gather all your ingredients and throw them all in your nifty blender. Press and go! Then once all combined, pour into a fresh peeled coconut or glass, and garnish! I like decorating with fresh coconut meat and fruit and sprinkling chia seeds on top. Super fast and easy, right? What was your timing?
Cheers!
