Blue Spirulina Green Juice

Featured in Drinks for Every Season.

This unique Blue Spirulina Green Juice transforms traditional green juice into a visually striking beverage while maintaining its nutritional benefits. The recipe combines tart Granny Smith apples for natural sweetness, crisp celery for mineral content, and fresh lettuce for mild green notes. The addition of blue spirulina powder not only creates an eye-catching blue hue but also adds nutrients. The juice can be customized by adjusting the amount of spirulina powder to achieve different shades of blue, while the choice of lettuce variety offers flexibility in taste and texture. This simple yet impressive recipe requires minimal preparation, with the option to strain for smoothness or leave unstrained for maximum nutrient content.

My morning routine transformed after incorporating this blue beauty. The natural energy boost lasts longer than coffee, and knowing I'm nourishing my body makes starting the day feel special.

Temperature Considerations

While some prefer their juice ice-cold, I've found room temperature allows better absorption of nutrients. In summer, I'll add a few ice cubes, but generally serve it slightly chilled.

Storage Solutions

Store in an airtight glass container, filling to the top to minimize oxidation. While best consumed fresh, it keeps for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Seasonal Adaptations

During warmer months, I add cucumber for extra hydration. Winter versions might include ginger for warming properties.
