Blue Spirulina Smoothie Bowl
Published:We have never loved a smoothie bowl more. It is super simple to make and uses the added ingredient of superfood spirulina to make it blue.
Spirulina is a blue-green algae that people have been eating for centuries (the Aztecs allegedly loved it). It got a resurgence in the 90s when astronauts decided to try and grow it in space. And they opted to put in all that effort because a tiny amount of spirulina delivers a huge number of health benefits. Namely, a single tablespoon of the stuff has:
- 4 grams of complete protein
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Omega-6 fatty acids
- Vitamins B1, B2, and B3
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Manganese
