10 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
11 - 1/4 cup dragon fruit, cubed or balled

13 - 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
14 - Edible flowers (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Combine frozen banana, pineapple chunks, mango, almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder if using, and spirulina in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add a splash more liquid only if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
02 - Divide the blended mixture evenly between two serving bowls. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface, creating an even canvas for toppings.
03 - Artfully place kiwi slices, blueberries, dragon fruit pieces, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, and edible flowers on top in sections or patterns. Create a colorful, ocean-inspired design that appeals visually before serving immediately.
