Directions

  1. For the green layer, combine spirulina with the coconut cream in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, add vanilla and honey, and set aside. If you don't have spirulina on hand, substitute with a serving of your favorite greens.
  2. For the magenta layer, combine all ingredients in a blender. Pulse until smooth, and set aside.
  3. For the yellow layer, combine all ingredients in a second blender cup. Pulse until smooth, and set aside.
  4. To get the layered flower look, drizzle a little of the green layer on the bottom of a glass.
  5. Pour the magenta layer in the glass, up to about the halfway point.
  6. Pour the yellow layer on top of the magenta layer. The yellow layer should be a little bit runnier than the magenta layer, and stack nicely on top. If not, add more water.
  7. To make the fun scallop shapes on the side of the glass, take a straw and strategically poke it along the inside of the glass. Running the straw along the side of the glass from the yellow to the magenta layer creates points of color.
  8. Top with the rest of the green layer, and add whipped cream and sprinkles for a finishing touch.
