Whilst I have become interested in juicing and various other ways to moderate our diet so that we are healthy, lean and full of energy, I have come across all sorts of interesting things that I did not know about before.
The juicing programme I am on says to add a teaspoon of Spirulina powder ( and then blend well) to the juice or smoothie I am making.
At first, I just ignored it as I thought it sounded a bit strange, and the juices seemed to be doing enough good with out it. Then I got curious, the more confident I got with making the juices, and so I took another look at this green powder that apparently holds so many benefits, and eventually yesterday I went and bought some.
( my twitter readers will have seen the carrier bag photo afterwards!).
So today I duly added a spoon of this Spirulina, and I must say it turns the whole thing a very dark green, but personally I didn't mind the taste, although I know some do. I think it can be easily masked by the other ingredients, and that if the benefits are that good, then it's probably worth it!
I have posted below, an article about Spirulina and its benefits so that you can be more informed too. Who would have thought that deciding to shape up would bring so much new learning too!
