Juice of 5 meyer lemons or 1 tsp. vitamin C crystals
2 cups spring water
3 Tbsp. dark agave nectar or 3 drops of pure Stevia
5 mint leaves crushed
7 mint leaves left whole
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. spirulina

3 stalks peeled lemongrass
1 inch square peeled ginger
Stevia to taste (or Raw Agave Nectar)
1 tsp. Spirulina
*optional pinch of Himalayan crystal salt

Smash both lemongrass and ginger, steep in boiling water and let sit overnight. Add sweetener of choice to taste. Add spirulina (may need to blend for smooth consistency).

*Add a pinch of salt if desired. Chill and serve.

1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 cups freshly juiced carrot juice
1 Tbsp. spirulina

Mix together and go. This is better the colder it is (served over ice, or kept in the freezer for a bit). This is also good without the juice being freshly made, but it’s divine when it’s fresh.

4 medium avocados
1/2 fresh squeezed lemon
1/2 fresh squeezed lime
2 cloves minced fresh garlic
1/2 – 1 chopped heirloom tomato
1/4 tsp cayenne (or to your ‘hot factor’ liking)
few pinches Celtic salt

Put everything in a bamboo or ceramic bowl and mash it all together. Then LIGHTLY stir in:
1 tsp Spirulina

If you make guacamole like this often, you’ll find your metabolism is fired up, your skin glows, your hair shines, your nervous system is calm, and your belly is deeply satisfied.

So here are my recipes that I use every day to make it at least a little bit enjoyable-

Spirulina Super Green Smoothie
1 cucumber
2 handfuls of baby spinach leaves
1 green apple
1-2 cups of good quality water
1 tablespoon of spirulina
1 teaspoon of wheatgrass powder (optional)

Blend in a vitamix or super great blender until well combined. If you prefer it sweeter, you an add it a little xylitol or honey.

Spirulina Green Juice

4-5 sticks of celery (leaves and all)
2 carrots
1 green apple
1 tablespoon of spirulina

Juice celery, carrots and apple. Then blend the juice with the spirulina. You can try just stirring it in but I don’t like clumps so I prefer to blend.

And if you’re still eating cacao, these spirulina chocolate balls from David Wolfe’s book Superfoods (I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of this book) are amazing. They absolutely are the best way to eat spirulina that I’ve found yet. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, you may not love them as much as me but I find them simply divine.

Spirulina & Chocolate Balls

1/4 cup hempseeds
1/2 cup cacao powder
2 tablespoons of spirulina
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons raw honey
a pinch of celtic sea salt
the inside of 1 vanilla bean (scoop out the seeds)

Melt coconut oil if it’s set. You can do this buy putting it in a dehydrator, leaving it out in the sun or immersing the jar of coconut oil in a bowl of hot water.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. It will get all black and extremely sticky!! Roll into balls and set in the freezer. I love to eat these straight out of the freezer. They’re incredibly addictive and taste amazing.

1/2 cup Tahini
6 medium zucchini
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon sea salt
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Spirulina
1 Large Garlic Clove
Sprinkle of Paprika
Directions
Peel the zucchini until all the green skin is removed. (This is very important! Unpeeled zucchini will make it too chunky)
Slice peeled zucchini into smaller pieces.
Combine all ingredients except Paprika into food processor and blend until creamy and thick. If not desired consistency, add a little bit of water while blending.
Serve in a bowl or store Zucchini Hummus in a container and sprinkle with paprika. Great garnishes or hummus variations can include other fresh or dried herbs, sun dried tomatoes, red peppers, a drizzle of olive oil, and olives.
