This was an unexpected recipe.
I made this Glowing Green Spirulina Smoothie earlier this week with no intention of taking pictures. When I blended the ingredients (without measuring the ingredients of course), I discovered this beautiful mermaid color! I knew I had to share it with you guys! Â
The only problem, like I said, is that I didn’t measure the ingredients… I did try to recreate the recipe as much as I could and I think I came up with a similar result after two tries! I just had to find the right proportion of frozen bananas, kale, blueberries, milk and spirulina.Â
What is spirulina? It’s a blue-green algae powder that’s high in protein, iron and other nutrients. Although it’s promoted for many health benefits (don’t trust everything you read on the internet!), I simply love to use it for it’s beautiful color. You can’t taste it in this smoothie, but if you aren’t used to spirulina, you might find that it has a bit of an aftertaste. I suggest that you start with a smaller amount of spirulina, about half a teaspoon, and gradually increase the quantity. Some people drink it as a shot mixed with water, but I don’t see myself trying that anytime soon! Hah!
Don’t you just love the color?! I hope you’ll enjoy this smoothie as much as we do. 🙂
Spirulina has a particular taste. I didn't add a lot in this smoothie, so you shouldn't taste it, but if you're not used to spirulina, you can start with half a teaspoon and increase gradually.
