The Cosmic Coconut Cloud is the most visually distinctive smoothie at Vivid Minds Cafe and the one that travels furthest on social media every week. Oat milk, banana, avocado, coconut cream, vanilla collagen, and blue spirulina, turned a vivid electric blue-green by the phycocyanin in the spirulina, with a coconut cream swirl on top. 16oz. $12. The blue color is natural. The blue spirulina is nearly flavorless, which means what you taste is the banana, coconut, and vanilla collagen combination that is genuinely delicious regardless of what color the drink is.

Blue spirulina is the phycocyanin extract from spirulina algae with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The vanilla collagen provides type I and type III collagen peptides that support skin, hair, and joint health when consumed consistently. The avocado provides healthy fats that help the fat-soluble compounds in the other ingredients absorb more effectively. Every ingredient in the Cosmic Coconut Cloud is there because it makes the smoothie better. The color is a consequence of the ingredient, not a gimmick built around the color.

The Cosmic Coconut Cloud is $12 with coconut cream soft top included, every day at Vivid Minds Cafe, 1545 S Broadway Denver CO 80210. Open daily 7:30am to 6pm.
