"The Israelites went through the sea on dry ground." -Exodus 14:22

These smoothie bowls are a fun way to remember and celebrate the Israelites crossing the Red Sea on dry ground. Kick off your Passover with these smoothie bowls for breakfast, or make them anytime to celebrate that YHWH provides a way for us. A way from slavery to his promises!

Any blue smoothie recipe works for this. Mine is made from blueberries and yogurt (it's the same that I used for the Yom Teruah night sky smoothie bowls), but you can also get a blue smoothie using blue spirulina, butterfly pea powder, or blue food coloring (I would recommend an all-natural coloring!). Acai fruit would work in place of the blueberries. Of course, since it was the 'Red' Sea you could play around with that as well. Feel free to use any recipe that works for your lifestyle and appeals to you!

Red Sea Smoothie:
1 cup frozen blueberries
2 cups yogurt
1 tablespoon spirulina powder
1 tablespoon honey (or to taste for sweetness)

Put your blueberries in the blender and run the ice crushing setting for 30 seconds or so to break up the berries. This makes it easier to smoothly blend everything. (If you don't have this setting on your blender let them thaw for a few minutes before blending everything together.) Once your berries are mostly in small pieces, add the yogurt, spirulina powder, and honey and blend until smooth.

The spirulina is optional but it gives you a nutritional boost and also is responsible for the dark shade of blue. The smoothie was more of a reddish purple before I added it.

Once your smoothie is blended, pour it into bowls and decorate.



Crossing the Red Sea Smoothie Bowls - easy snack to teach kids about the Israelites leaving Egypt - Passover craft idea| Land of Honey

For the dry ground I used finely shredded coconut that I toasted. Doesn't it remind you of sand at the beach? (To toast coconut: just put the coconut in a dray pan on medium heat and stir for 2-4 minutes. It will smell great when it's toasted!)

You could also used crushed up matzah, almond meal, chopped nuts, chia seeds, or a combination of those things. A glob of nut butter or sliced bananas could work too!

To make the shells: I mixed yogurt, almond meal, and a tiny bit of cocoa powder, and then froze in a seashell candy mold overnight. There's no exact recipe, I was just shooting for a beachy/sandy color.

Play around and be creative with the decorating! Color the shells if you want. You could also use candy fish or get a chocolate mold to make sea horses or turtles. Make waves in the sea or make the waves into white caps with a smear of plain yogurt or untoasted coconut. Decorate with berries, a ten commandment gummy, a menorah cupcake topper, nut butter, matzah, or whatever else you like.
