Spirulina is a blue-green algae that has become one of the most popular superfoods in the wellness world. Rich in protein, antioxidants, and essential nutrients, spirulina is known for its vibrant color and impressive health effects. There are two main types: green spirulina and blue spirulina. Green spirulina is the whole algae, while blue spirulina is extracted phycocyanin—the pigment responsible for its striking blue hue and antioxidant power.
Start by prepping your ingredients—peel and slice the lemons (removing the seeds), peel and core the apple, slice the ginger, and measure out your spirulina powder and maple syrup. Add everything into a high-speed blender, then pour in the coconut water to help everything blend smoothly.
Blend on high until the mixture is fully combined and as smooth as possible. The goal is to extract as much goodness as you can from the fresh ingredients.
Next, place a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag over a large measuring jug or bowl, and slowly pour the mixture through. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the pulp, extracting every last drop of juice.
Once strained, transfer the bright blue liquid into glass shot jars or an airtight mason jar. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week, and shake well before each serving. Enjoy one shot daily as part of your morning wellness routine or whenever your body needs a little extra support!
It’s basically health in the form of powder! Spirulina is packed with plant-based protein and is a complete protein source, making it ideal for anyone looking to support a healthy lifestyle. It contains antioxidants like phycocyanin that help fight free radicals, reduce blood pressure, and lower fasting blood sugar levels. Spirulina benefits also extend to skin and hair health, brain support, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Research suggests that regular consumption of spirulina can enhance the immune system and help reduce oxidative stress, which contributes to chronic diseases. Drinking spirulina in juice or as part of a spirulina shot recipe is an effective way to incorporate this superfood into your daily routine.
This spirulina drink is more than just pretty to look at. These shots have protein and antioxidants, making them a great way to support your health and wellbeing. They are made with easy and clean ingredients, meaning there are no fillers or refined sugars. It’s low-calorie and completely vegan – you can serve these wellness shots to anyone or keep them all for yourself and drink them through the week. These wellness shots are a great way to support your health without spending a fortune! Whether you’re focused on disease prevention, weight loss, or simply supporting your body’s natural detox pathways, this spirulina juice shot is the perfect addition to your morning routine.
