The Unicorn Smoothie Bowl Recipe of Your Dreams
Hey guys!
OMGGGGGGGG. DO YOU SEE THIS UNICORN SMOOTHIE BOWL?!!!!!
I used to be the kind of person who just threw everything together and called it a day but being able to make my food look fun has been sooooo gratifying (especially when I get to serve it to my fam and watch them eat it). The inspo for this bowl came after that Starbuck’s unicorn drink that launched briefly a few years ago – do you remember that? It was like a vibrant pink and blue frappuccino that was very Instagram-worthy and super pretty. But the standard 16 oz drink had 410 calories, 16g of fat and 59g of SUGAR.
Just to put that into perspective, the American Heart Association recommends an added-sugar limit of 24 grams of sugar a day for women and 36 grams for men. So this drink was handing you 2x more sugar in just a single drink than you should have in an entire day! Ummmmmm CRAZY right?
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to create a unicorn smoothie alternative to this Starbucks drink for a long time, and I’m so excited to share this with you! It is actually super easy to make and it looks and tastes soooooo dreamy. Plus, if you choose an unsweetened almond milk, there shouldn’t be any added sugars depending on the brand – just natural ones from the fruit. Just make sure you check the nutrition labels if you’re keeping an eye on the added sugars.
This recipe is also 90 Day Journey friendly!
YUM! You ready?!!

What brand of Blue Spirulina did you use?
1 tsp goes a long way! I can’t believe how beautifully purple this is.
This looks so pretty and super healthy! Great alternative to the Starbucks drink, plus who doesn’t love a good smoothie?
This is so pretty!!! It looks magical 🦄
I do remember the unicorn latte! Everyone had it on their instagram. I never got to try it though, which was probably a good thing – with all that sugar I wonder if it tasted TOO sweet? And that’s coming from me, a sweet tooth! Xx
This looks beautiful & yummm
Looking so tasty. Thanks for this
