These Pastel Mermaid Smoothies Are Straight Out of Our REM Cycles

Be still, our iridescently scaled hearts! These frosty, finned frappés are straight out of a maritime dreams. Sixteen-year-old vegan recipe creator and photographer Jose — known on Instagram as @naturally.jo — whipped up these siren smoothies bedecked in seashells and ice-kissed blueberries. As it turns out, this isn't Jose's first foray into nautical novelties; he created a mermaid smoothie bowl that looks just as delicious.

We suspect that the base is blueberry and that the top layer gets its punchy, aqua-meets-seafoam hue from "blue pea tea powder [also known as butterfly pea] and matcha," as he used those exact ingredients in another oceanic bowl. BRB — ordering supplies on Amazon.
