As you guys know, I’ve been into the whole intermittent fasting thing lately. If I have access to a blender at home, I’ve been breaking my fast with this packed green spirulina smoothie. I’m not the biggest fan of cleaning out the blender but I do love me a good shake so it’s worth it!

I started taking spirulina capsules probably about 6+ months ago and just recently decided to start popping a few of them into my smoothies. Pre-spirulina days, all of of my smoothies would end up looking a greyish/brown color. Definitely not the most appealing thing I could drink. By adding spirulina, it gives you that fresh green color that’ll have you feeling like you just walked out of a juice company.

So what’s the deal with spirulina? Supposedly:

+ it’s a superfood sourced from blue-green algae

+ contains lots of nutrients

+ boosts energy

+ low cal/carb

+ anti-inflammatory properties

+ detoxes heavy metals

+ antioxidant support

+ good for the heart
