Brightening Honey + Spirulina Face Mask
- Make sure you cleanse your skin well first, then mix the 2 ingredients together to form a paste.
- Apply with fingertips or a facial brush to your face and neck. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes, and then rinse off with warm water and a washcloth.
- Once the entire mask is removed, follow with a moisturizer, facial oil, or serum for added hydration.
Layered Coconut Spirulina Chia Pudding
- In a medium bowl, mix the chia seeds with plant milks and honey (or its replacement), then set aside for 30 minutes until the seeds absorb all the liquid.
- Meanwhile, add the avocado, banana, and spirulina into the food processor and pulse to obtain a fine puree.
- Distribute the soaked chia seeds evenly into the serving bowls/jars, top with a green layer of spirulina puree, garnish with coconut flakes and chia seeds, and serve.
Alkaline Spirulina Lemonade
- Blend all ingredients until well combined and serve.
Super Green Spirulina Smoothie
- Add spirulina and kale and/or spinach into the blender. Sprinkle in some powered ginger to spice it up a bit.
- Fill with apple juice to the 2-cup line. Blend until smooth. Add ice as needed to thicken or water to thin the consistency.
Notes
Be sure to check with your doctor if you're currently taking any prescriptions, as spirulina can occasionally interfere with some medicines.
