The benefits of a Spirulina and Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

Usually, I make a spirulina and blueberry smoothie bowl on a Sunday morning after a cardio workout to get my protein in. As well as that it boosts my energy to prevent a post-workout slump. For the last 6 months, I have taken spirulina in the mornings either in powder form mixed into a smoothie or in tablet form. In particular, I have noticed a positive difference in my skin. Not only that, but my energy levels are also more consistent and I don’t find that I’m as bloated as usual!

Spirulina contains protein, good fats, vitamins, and minerals including vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, and iron. Along with being suitable for vegans too, it’s a healthy habit that is well and truly ingrained in my morning routine.⁠
