Banana and strawberry are about as familiar as smoothies get, and a spoon of spirulina gives them a surprising twist. The colour turns to a deep greenish tone, while the taste stays sweet and fruity.

Banana Strawberry Smoothie with Spirulina
Creamy and fruity, with sweet banana and strawberry and a faint earthy note from the spirulina.
Spirulina is a blue-green microalga sold as a dried powder. It is rich in protein by weight, although the small amounts used in a smoothie contribute only modestly. Its flavour is earthy and slightly marine, so it works best with sweet, strong fruit.
Banana and strawberries are ideal for this: they are sweet, aromatic and cover the algae taste well, while oat drink makes everything creamy. Start with a small amount of spirulina if you are new to it. The smoothie suits breakfast or a snack after sport.
Earthy and slightly like seaweed. In this smoothie, banana and strawberry cover most of it.
