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.

My passion for natural, safer alternatives has also been fuelled by the fact that my mum died of cancer when she was very young, something that could well be attributed to the prevalence of potentially harmful ingredients commonly used in hair products and skincare, food additives and chemicals found in the environment.
