Notes
*If you use green spirulina, it won’t turn out the “Cookie Monster” blue color. Spirulina is a powerful antioxidant and is packed with nutrients, making it a healthy addition to smoothies. You can find blue spirulina superfood powders online or in select health food stores; there are a variety of brands available. The blue powder is also a good natural food coloring.
