Ocean smoothie bowl is an interesting beautiful smoothie bowl I tried to hack for a while..
The problem with it is that I had to use only pale coloured fruits in order to keep the blue colour shine.
Then I wanted to create something a little bit more interesting and tried to play around with layers, just like the ocean, deep vast blue, middle blue for the shallower water, and crystal clear Turquoise colour for the shallow water.
I was looking for some cool moulds to create ocean creatures online and it took ages (even tho now its easy to get on Rawnice website!) and also used homemade granola for the sand.
Then I paired the coolest shell bowl of Royal Bali Ceramics and Waaallllla!!! The perfect Ocean Smoothie Bowl!
