Oh, I know how annoying it is to have spirulina stuck to the side of the blender so I came up with a trick – I mix it with blueberries before adding water.
How funny! I do use pomegranate juice! =D Organic from Trader Joe’s. Yeah, I know, not raw since I believe it’s been pasteurized.
Spirulina is 65% protein – the highest source of protein found in any food (it contains all 8 essential amino acids). It also the world’s highest known plant-source of vitamin B-12 and also includes a load of vitamins, chlorophyll, cell salts, phytonutrients, and enzymes.
Am going to try apple juice and celery (possibly both together!) to see if it works – and berries to stop it sticking to everything. Thanks.
It’s hard to remember now but when you taste it you wonder how you could possibly forget. It’s not bitter and it’s not sour. It’s strong and overpowers all other tastes. I’ll find the right word when I have it tomorrow morning and get back to you….
Believe it or not, raspberry crystal ice makes it pretty palatable. I know that it has artificial sweetners, yadda, yadda, yadda... But I think the health benefits of the spirulina make up for that. Especially if its the only way to get it down.
I put just a teaspoon in my smoothies and I never taste it! I'd mix it with dates and nuts and things for a power bar as well.
The smell I think is the worst... it smells like fish food, which in some cases it is..

Before I went raw, I put it in my miso soup... that disguised it completely.
