Spirulina Recipe Ideas
Having recently watched a variety of inspiring food documentaries such as Foodmatters and Fork Over Knives, I thought it was time to seriously boost my diet and add a good amount of spirulina superfood to my food plan.
Spirulina can be taken directly with water (for maximum nutrient intake), mixed in with juices or smoothies, or sprinkled onto a variety of salads, dips and snacks.
