I've been using spirullina in my smoothies lately and I FINALLY made it taste palatable. I didn't mind the taste that much but it has a very strong funky flavor that overpowered a few of my smoothies and I almost had to hold my nose to down them. Here is what I put into my smoothie today, it tastes chocolatey and wonderful!
A 1/3rd a bunch of cilantro
water of young coconut, plus a few spoonfuls of coconut meat
1/2 cup water (this particular coconut didn't have enough water to my liking so I added some distilled water)
2 capsules of He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti), a Chinese herb known for nourishing your body's yin, contributing to longevity and helping with aging issues like grey hairs, constipation due to yin deficiency and persistent dry skin problems
a sprinkle of cinnamon
3 or 4 almonds
1/2 tablespoon of god-awful spirullina
teaspoon of cacao powder
IF ANYONE has cool ideas for delicious smoothies with spirullina, please do share!
Love and blessings,

ohmigod that sounds DIVINE> thanks for sharing!!!! : )
Yes i have Hawaiian Spirulina! It truly is not THAT bad when I taste it...it's the smell that's most funky, imo.
It works really well with cacao. For example, chocolate mousse made with avo's, dates, cacao and spirullina is good. Also frozen chocolate pie, which is made mostly with ground cashews, agave, cacao. Adding the spirulina gives it some real depth.
