Dietitian Notes

As a registered dietitian, I love when a meal checks multiple boxes—and this smoothie bowl does just that:

• Spirulina is a powerful blue-green algae packed with antioxidants, iron, B vitamins, and anti-inflammatory properties.
  
• Chia and pumpkin seeds add fiber, plant-based protein, omega-3s, and magnesium—perfect for energy, digestion, and heart health.
  
• Kiwi brings a dose of vitamin C and gut-loving enzymes, making this bowl both immune- and digestion-supportive.
  
  

This is a balanced breakfast or snack option that fuels your day while being fun and eye-catching—great for both adults and kids.

How to Make This Toddler-Friendly

Want to share this Earth Day smoothie bowl with your little ones? Here are some quick adjustments:

• Skip the spirulina (or use a pinch): Spirulina is safe in small amounts but can have a strong flavor. Start small!
  
• Use a sweet base like banana + mango: This keeps it naturally sweet and appealing.
  
• Blend the toppings in: Some toddlers prefer smooth textures, so blend chia and pumpkin seeds into the smoothie rather than sprinkling on top.
  
• Serve it in a cup with a straw or spoon: Smoothie bowls can be messy—make it sippable if that’s easier for your child.
  
• Let them help decorate: Toddlers love being involved. Let them sprinkle chia “stars” or place kiwi “continents” on their blue planet bowl!
