My friend Melissa Wood Tepperberg first introduced me to the spirulina smoothie and I fell instantly in love. Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is said to boost energy, detox heavy metals, help with Candida, and so much more. I’ve tweaked a few things and added a boost of protein to my version, but the taste remains the same. Hope you’ll give my Spirulina Smoothie a try and let me know what you think! Also, don’t forget to tag me in all of your foodie creations at @livlight_ and #livlight.
