Ingredients

Quantity Unit Ingredient
40 ml spirulina powder (blue-green algae)
750 ml water or apple juice
500 ml Oldenburger Barista Milk
10 avocado
1000 ml blood orange purée/concentrate
250 g pomegranate syrup or 15 g coconut flower syrup
10 pinch of protein powder

Preparation

Making the Smoothie

Sift the spirulina powder into 75 ml of water at room temperature, add 25 ml of Oldenburger Barista Milk and blend in the mixer on a low setting.
Dice half an avocado and blend with the spirulina solution to produce a fine cream. Fill a glass to almost half-full and create small wave patterns in the spirulina cream around the sides of the glass using a long spoon or straw.
Froth the remaining well-chilled Oldenburger Barista Milkmixed with the blood orange purée, the syrup and the protein powder in the mixer (for single portions; for larger quantities, see the tip above) to approximately double its original volume and place on top of the cream. The different densities of the cream and foam create clear layering in the glass automatically.

The Final Touch

Garnish the drink with orange zest, pomegranate seeds or a homemade wafer as preferred and stir vigorously before enjoying to produce a deep violet colour.
