Instructions
Blend the Mango Base
Combine the frozen mango chunks and pineapple juice in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour evenly into the bottom of two large clear glasses and set aside.
Mix the Blue Spirulina
In a small pitcher or bowl whisk the blue spirulina powder into the chilled coconut milk until fully dissolved and the color is evenly distributed throughout with no visible clumps.
Sweeten the Coconut Mixture
Stir the agave syrup and vanilla extract into the blue coconut milk mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. The mixture should be mildly sweet to balance the tropical fruit base.
Add Ice and Layer
Place ice cubes carefully on top of the mango layer in each glass. Pour the blue spirulina coconut mixture slowly over the ice using a spoon to preserve the layered effect.
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut on top of each drink. Serve with a wide straw and encourage guests to stir before drinking to enjoy the swirling color effect.
