Super-charged Green Powder

Hello Happy Mamas!



So, this week I added a little something super-charged to my smoothies. It's very green, almost flavorless, and really intensifies the color of your smoothies. It's called Spirulina, and it's available as a pill or a powder. It's pretty awesome stuff....here's a quick list of why I decided to give it a try.



* it's packed full of all kinds of essential vitamins and minerals, such as: iron, copper, calcium, B1, B2, B5, B3, B9, B6, B12, E, K.....
* it's a great source of protein
* it aids in anxiety management
* it gives you a really natural boost of energy
* it slows your metabolism and makes you feel full longer
* it has 26 times more calcium than anything else
* aids in alleviating allergic reactions
* anti-inflammatory
* it's an authentic source of omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids (making it a great fish oil replacement option for vegans and vegetarians)
* contains anti-aging properties


 I've read that there are no side effects, which is great. It's a naturally occurring blue-green algae that grows in warm, fresh bodies of water like lakes and ponds. I really liked the rich, emerald color that it added to my smoothie, and the taste was a bit different, but it wasn't unpleasant. For all of the health benefits mentioned above, it's definitely worth it.
