Spirulina Snack Recipes

Needing a bit of a change to your usual snack foods? Try adding spirulina to your diet!

Spirulina is a micro-algae harvested in alkaline water sources and can be added to a variety of snacks to provide high nutritional value.

It probably doesn’t sound like the most appetizing thing ever, but trust me – you’ll thank me once you give it a try!

It is a fantastic source of protein and can act as an antioxidant, improve immune function and can help to protect the liver.

Kids will also enjoy it as it can also be used as a fun, natural food dye due to its wonderful blue-green colouring!

The great thing about spirulina is that it can be added to a variety of different snacks, including smoothies, protein balls, energy bars and even ice-cream. I have found some of the best spirulina snack recipes for you to try out.

This list includes vegan, paleo, gluten free and sugar free recipes to suit your dietary needs.
