Creative Spirulina Recipes
Spirulina Guacamole
Spirulina blends really well with avocado and gives the guacamole a beautiful dark green color. Here is a basic guac recipe, but feel free to add spirulina to your favorite version of guacamole!
- 2 avocados
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of salsa
- Juice from 1 fresh lime
- Generous dash of cayenne
- ½ tsp minced garlic
- Salt to taste
- 2 tsp spirulina powder
Mix all ingredients with a hand blender. Add the spirulina last so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the container!
Spirulina Hummus
You can also substitute other beans in place of the chickpeas for a twist on this recipe.
- 1 ¾ cup of chickpeas (or 1 15oz can)
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tbsp. tahini
- ¼ tsp salt
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp spirulina powder
Like with the guacamole, add the spirulina last so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of your mixing container.
Spirulina Salad Dressing
Spirulina is a great way to add more protein and nutrients to your salads – and also turn them an electric green color. The avocado in the dressing makes it very creamy.
- ½ avocado
- 1 tsp spirulina
- 1 small zucchini
- 1 tbsp. miso (preferably white)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ cup water
- Salt to taste
Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender. Recipe adapted from choosingraw.com
