What is blue spirulina?

Blue spirulina is a natural extract from blue-green algae. It’s packed with antioxidants and gives smoothies a vibrant blue hue without changing the flavor.

Can I make this smoothie dairy-free?

Yes! Use coconut or almond yogurt instead of dairy frozen yogurt, and choose a plant-based vanilla protein powder.

Is turbinado sugar necessary?

No. It adds sweetness, but you can leave it out or replace it with honey or maple syrup.

Can I use different fruits?

Absolutely. Try swapping pineapple for mango or using coconut water instead of juice for a tropical spin.
