Notes
We bought this package of blue spirulina—remember you only use small amounts at a time, so the package should last quite a while! Make sure to buy blue spirulina; regular spirulina is green. If you can’t find it, you can always add a few drops of food coloring for the same effect.
I made this smoothie in a small Beast blender and it worked great! If you’re making it in a larger blender you may need to add more liquid or stop and stir a few times to get it to blend.
