As we've mentioned before, green smoothies are a delicious way to reap the benefits of fresh fruit and vegetables all in one hit. What sets green smoothies apart from other blended treats is that they always contain lots of nutritious green produce—and since spirulina is bursting with healthy chlorophyll, it’s a wonderful way to enhance all that green goodness!

Sari Foods planet-friendly, vegan spirulina naturally supplies protein, iron, folate, magnesium, beta-carotene, vitamin B12, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids (GLA, Omega 3, 6, and 9s). With this army of nutrients, our organic spirulina adds an extra burst of wholesome nutrition to an already healthy and refreshing green treat. 

The pineapple in this smoothie provides a satisfying sweetness, making it perfect for first timers (or for those who just have a serious sweet tooth!). And the combination of pineapple and refreshing mint is downright magical. Just one sip and you’ll feel pleasantly cool and refreshed, even on the hottest of summer days. This recipe makes one serving, but you can easily double or triple it to share with friends and family.

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup chopped pineapple
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup spinach
• Small bunch fresh mint
• 1 tsp Sari Foods spirulina
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds

Directions:

Place all the ingredients in a high speed blender and process until smooth. Pour mixture into a tall glass for a great mid afternoon pick-me-up on a hot summer’s day.

Peace, love, and sweet summer wishes from the Sari Foods family!
