04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

10 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
11 - 1/4 cup dragon fruit, cubed or balled
12 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Combine frozen banana, pineapple chunks, mango chunks, almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder if using, spirulina, and blue spirulina in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add a splash more liquid if consistency is too thick.
02 - Pour the smoothie base evenly between two serving bowls. Use the back of a spoon to smooth and level the surface, creating an even canvas for toppings.
03 - Artfully arrange sliced kiwi, blueberries, dragon fruit cubes, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, and edible flowers on top in a decorative pattern. Create contrasting colors and textures for visual appeal.
04 - Serve the smoothie bowl immediately with a spoon while still thick and cold. Enjoy the fresh, tropical flavors.
