Can I blend Raw Living Spirulina into a smoothie?

Each one is like a tiny water balloon.

1. Imagine these living cells inside a blender. The blades would rupture them, creating immediate oxidation and damaging the vital, alive nutrients inside.

2. Spirulina does not contain cellulose (fiber), so one should consume it alone (not with any other fiber food) for maximum bioavailability.

Mixing the Spirulina with other foods with fiber will slow and minimize the absorbability of the nutrients as they pass on through the entire digestive system.

Consuming the Spirulina by itself on an empty stomach first thing in the am will allow the body to easily and quickly (10-15 min) assimilate the nutrients directly into the bloodstream through the upper digestive system.

For therapeutic purposes, we highly recommend not mixing with any other foods, especially in a blender.

However, adding it to a smoothie at the end by gently stirring in with a whisk is ok for recreational purposes.
