Chlorella colours this smoothie a dark, almost forest green, but the fruit sets the taste. Pineapple brings acidity, pear softness and grape juice a round, juicy sweetness.

Pineapple Chlorella Smoothie with Grape Juice
Sweet and fruity with a tangy pineapple edge and a light earthy note in the background.
Chlorella is a freshwater microalga sold dried as a powder or tablets. Its taste is intense, grassy and a bit like seaweed, so this recipe uses only half a teaspoon and pairs it with plenty of sweet fruit. Pineapple and grape juice are strong enough to carry it, and pear makes the texture smooth.
If you are new to algae powders, start with a smaller amount. The smoothie works as a fruity morning drink or a snack after sport.
Grassy and slightly marine. In this recipe the fruit covers most of it.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes. Add 20 g baby spinach instead if you want to keep the green colour.
