Just half a teaspoon of spirulina turns this smoothie a dark, almost emerald green. Avocado and banana keep it creamy and mild enough to enjoy.

Creamy and thick, mildly sweet, with an earthy, slightly marine note from the spirulina.
Spirulina is a blue-green alga sold as a dried powder. It is known for its protein content and its very intense colour, but also for a strong, slightly marine taste, so a small amount is plenty. Avocado adds a velvety body and monounsaturated fat, banana brings sweetness, and baby spinach adds more green without much flavour.
The result is a filling green smoothie for breakfast. If you take medication or have health concerns, ask a doctor before using spirulina regularly.
Earthy and slightly like seaweed. Fruit and avocado soften it considerably.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
