Smoothie bowls are the ultimate upgrade to a traditional smoothie. Thick, creamy, and eaten with a spoon, they are both indulgent and refreshing. The key to the ideal consistency is using fewer liquids and more frozen ingredients - and a high-power blender doesn't hurt either. Aurora Blue herbal tea lends a faint sky-blue hue that serves as a perfect backdrop to a rainbow of fruits. Enjoy for breakfast or dessert! Vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Blue Sky Rainbowl

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Aurora Blue herbal tea
  • ½ cup water at 200°F (4 oz)
  • 1 each large banana
  • 1 cup canned unsweetened coconut cream (8 oz)*
    *stir before portioning
  • ½ cup frozen or fresh coconut chunks**
    **available at most Trader Joe's and Whole Foods
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener

Directions

  1. Make Ahead. Prepare Aurora Blue ice cubes. Combine herbal tea and hot water; steep for 15 minutes to make a concentrate. Strain fully. Transfer brewed tea to an ice cube tray; fill each mold about halfway. Freeze solid.
  2. Peel and cut banana into ½-inch slices. Arrange in a single layer on a plate or in a zip-top bag. Freeze until firm.
  3. Slice and prepare fruit toppings just before blending.
  4. Make Smoothie. To a blender, add coconut chunks and frozen banana slices; blend on low until small bits remain. Scrape down sides as needed with a rubber spatula. Add coconut cream and 1 tablespoon of sweetener; blend on medium-high speed until almost smooth. Scrape down sides. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. Add Aurora Blue ice cubes; blend on high speed until very smooth.
  5. Pour or scoop into a serving bowl; layer fruit in rainbow order. Serve immediately.
