⁠ Spirulina Smoothie

This gorgeous Spirulina Smoothie is loaded with wholesome goodness and fresh fruit flavor.  The spirulina powder gives it that gorgeous blue color.  (vegan, gluten free)

I can't get enough of breakfast smoothies and now that I have discovered spirulina powder I'll be making them every day.  This delicious powder adds a nutritional boost but without any taste.  

You can add any frozen fruits you want to this smoothie but I do find that pineapple adds a lot of sweetness with a small amount of fruit.

What are the benefits of spirulina powder? 

According to WebMD spirulina is a great source of nutrients. It contains a powerful plant-based protein called phycocyanin. Some research shows it may have antioxidant, pain-relief, and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Ingredients

• Frozen banana coins - You can buy these already frozen or make your own by slicing bananas and laying them out on a sheet pan. Once they freeze, you can place them in a zip-lock bag.
• Fresh blueberries - You can also use frozen blueberries or substitute a different type of berry. If you use frozen, the smoothie will be thicker.
• Spirulina powder
• Almond milk - I like Califia Farms vanilla flavored unsweetened almond milk but any milk with work.
• Frozen pineapple - This gives it extra sweetness.
• Toppings!

This smoothie begins with frozen bananas which help to make it extra thick.  Slice some bananas and place them on a sheet pan.  Freeze overnight and you'll have a nice stash of frozen bananas for all your smoothie making needs.
