I remember when I first heard about spirulina. A friend, totally into all things health, swore it was the key to her boundless energy. At first, I was skeptical—blue-green algae in my smoothie? Seemed a bit out there. But, I'm always up for trying new things, especially if they promise a little extra pep in my step. Plus, she offered to make me one, so how could I refuse? I am so glad that I took my friends advice.
Let’s be real, the idea of blending algae into your breakfast might sound…interesting. But trust me on this one. This Spirulina Surge Smoothie is a game-changer. It’s packed with nutrients, tastes surprisingly delicious, and gives you a sustained energy boost that'll power you through your morning. Even my picky-eater brother asked for seconds! The tropical fruits mask the earthy flavor of the spirulina beautifully, leaving you with a vibrant, refreshing drink that’s actually good for you.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, peel the banana and roughly chop the mango. This helps your blender out a bit, especially if it's not super powerful.
- Place all the ingredients – banana, mango, pineapple, protein powder, spirulina, and coconut water – into your blender.
- Blend on high speed until everything is completely smooth. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times to make sure there are no chunks left.
- Give it a taste! If you want it sweeter, add a little honey or maple syrup. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water. If the spirulina flavor is too strong, add a little more mango or pineapple.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately! It’s best when it’s fresh and vibrant.
- If you want to get fancy, garnish with a slice of pineapple or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
📝 Notes
- Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup to taste.
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen fruit.
- If you’re new to spirulina, start with 1/2 teaspoon and increase as desired.
