Superfoods you need in your smoothie

Spirulina

Poor Spirulina has a reputation for being a bit, uh… yuck, but its amazing health benefits sure make up for its lack of appeal. Often referred to as blue-green algea, spirulina is loaded with nutrients that are incredibly good for you and can have powerful effects on your body and brain. In fact, a single tablespoon of spirulina powder contains up to 4g of protein, as well as vitamin B1, B2, B3, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium and more; the list is endless! If you are a spirulina newbie, then it’s best to add half a teaspoon to your smoothie, plus an extra banana to sweeten the taste. However, those who are hardcore superfood lovers, hold your nose and enjoy a shot of spirulina mixed with cold pressed apple juice for that ultimate superfood boost!
