There is just nothing wrong with a spirulina smoothie. If you are put off by the green, you're an asshole.



Here's how to make one:


2 bananas
2 kiwifruitses
4 largish strawberrieses
2 plumses
2 apricotses
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons of spirulina powder

Dump all the fruity stuff and juicy stuff into the blendz0r. Blend until smoothie consistency. Add the spirulina powder and blend again until it's a nice dark green.

CONSUME!!! This recipe makes 2 large glasses

Important: Use organic fruitses and juices if you can. They taste better. DON'T SNIFF THE SPIRULINA POWDER! It will make you vomit. Try not to pay attention to the colour and the smell of the spirulina. Once the smoothie is made it will smell and taste like fruit juice.

Ova and out.

Any kind of health store, probably even GNC, or online.

Buy the smallest possible bottle, that shit lasts forever!

Auuugh, my mum gave me spirulina when I was a kid and it made me hurl for three hours. And I didn't sniff it.
So, though some of you appear to be fiends for it, I still say puke

Nope. I had to too. It sounds gross. And I'm not really sure of the point of it all. I would much rather take a horse pill vitamin than choke down a green thick liquid with a nebulous minty to vomit-inducing flavor and scent.

I'm not put off by the green, just the conspicuous lack of whiskey and bacon in that concoction.

It's taste isn't minty, nor is it vomit inducing (unless you eat it raw with a spoon, i guess). In it's raw, powdered form it smells pretty gross. The point of it is that it's a superfood and makes your body all kinds of happy smile
