Move over green smoothie, make way for the new kid on the block. ♥️

There’s a new color in the world of smoothies and it is my favorite one!

What are your thoughts on a Blue Smoothie? Yay or nay? I am personally a huge fan of blue so it is definitely a yay for me.The color comes from blue spirulina, a nutrient dense aqua botanical that is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Besides the high nutritional content, it is known to boost the immune system and increases energy too. Powerful algae I have to say!

There’s a whole lot of goodness in just 1 serving of this people!

This blue smoothie recipe starts with frozen fruits. I love making smoothies using frozen fruits as the smoothies get really thick and yummy, just like an ice cream! Furthermore, frozen fruits can easily be stored in the freezer for a long time, so you can blend up some smoothies whenever you need one.

Actually, I think I need one right NOW

Prep time: 10 mins

Total time: 10 mins

Serves: 2

• 2 tsp blue spirulina

• ⅔ – 1 cup milk (depending on the thickness you prefer)
• 1.5 tbsp sweetener of your choice (I used honey)

Instructions:

1. In a blender, add all of the above ingredients and blend till smooth.
2. Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately.

This vibrant beet smoothie combines sweet and earthy beets with berries, banana and orange juice for a well-balanced flavor. Look for packaged cooked beets where the prepared fruits and vegetables are sold. Beets are high in belatins, an antioxidant that may help decrease inflammation in the body. Other nutrient-packed ingredients add even more anti-inflammatory power, like the anthocyanins in blueberries and the gingerol found in ginger.

This 3-ingredient smoothie features frozen passion fruit that packs tons of floral notes and tart flavor.

Taste and add a teaspoon or two of honey at the end to balance the flavor.
