This easy Ocean Smoothie Bowl is rich and so creamy! It’s a quick 4 ingredient Paleo Smoothie Bowl which is great for breakfast, a snack or even dessert. Furthermore it’s packed with a lot of proteins through the curd. Yet, what I love most about this recipe is it’s color. I completely fell in love with it. I mean look at it! It’s such a pleasure to eat it and you instantly have a good mood : )
But what is Spirulina?
Spirulina is usually referred to as a blue-green algae, but it is actually a cyanobacterium. Cyanobacteria get their name because of the bluish pigment phycocyanin, which they use to capture light for photosynthesis. Therefore, Spirulina also contains chlorophyll.
Superfood
While this blue-green algae may look like slimy pondweed, it is actually one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Spirulina is 60% protein (more than twice as much as red meat). It contains 18 amino acids, including all essential amino acids and 10 of 12 non-essential amino acidsit. Furthermore it’s a sustainable food source. In addition to using 10 times less water to produce than other vegetables, spirulina can be harvested year-round and withstands extreme temperatures.
