Tropical Blue Spirulina Smoothie

Start your day with this stunning, nutrient dense smoothie full of antioxidants, healthy fats and superfoods!

This is such a fun smoothie to make! Bright and colorful using the star ingredient, blue spirulina. The brand I used is called KOS: Organic Luminous Blue Spirulina that I bought at Whole Foods Market. A little goes a long way!

Blue Spirulina not only adds beautiful color, but has amazing health benefits. It acts as a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that help promote healthy gut bacteria, heavy metal detox and has even been shown to prevent the growth of certain cancers. Add it in smoothies, juices, yogurt and baked goods to help keep your immune system in check!
