Spirulina Smoothie with Banana, Orange, and Mango

This spirulina smoothie with banana, orange, and mango is a nutrient dense smoothie full of vitamins, minerals and protein. It is a delicious way to start the day and only takes 5 minutes to make.

I like to call this spirulina smoothie my mermaid smoothie. It is made with spirulina powder, a blue-green algae, which gives it the most gorgeous color. Spirulina is filled with antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.

This smoothie also has mango, banana and orange inside, which adds even more nutrients and fiber to the recipe. It also adds a nice sweetness to the whole recipe.

If you love having smoothies for breakfast, try my cherry mango carrot smoothie, or my pineapple banana coconut oil smoothie.

Why this recipe works

• Spirulina is a complete protein. According to healthline, 1 Tablespoon of spirulina has 4 grams of protein, along with thiamin, copper and iron.
• It’s a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack option.
• It can easily be made dairy-free.
• It is naturally gluten-free.
• All you need is 5 ingredients.
• This easy recipe only takes 5 minutes to make.

Recipe ingredients

• an orange– a fresh navel orange; this helps add liquid to the smoothie.
• frozen mango– good quality frozen chunks of mango.
• a frozen banana– you can freeze a ripe banana the night before or buy frozen banana.
• spirulina powder– I like the spirulina powder from Nuts.com.
• almond milk– make sure it doesn’t have added sugar and isn’t flavored.

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Additions/ Substitutions

• Instead of almond milk, you can use any milk of choice.
• You can add hemp seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs and nut butter on top of your smoothie.
• You can add nut butter to the smoothie itself before blending.

How to make this recipe

It’s easy! You put all of the ingredients ( frozen banana, frozen mango, a fresh peeled orange, spirulina powder, and almond milk) into a blender and mix! You can add more almond milk if you want it to be more liquidy.

OR you could turn this into a spirulina smoothie bowl and put it into a bowl and top it with goodies such as chia seeds, cacao nibs, and almond butter. YUM.
