Can I add fresh Raw Living Spirulina into a smoothie?

Raw Living Spirulina is alive, and each jar contains approximately 50 billion tiny bioactive cells, each like a delicate water balloon.

Why Blending Fresh Spirulina Is Not Ideal

1. Blender Damage: When fresh Spirulina is placed in a blender, the blades rupture these fragile cells, causing immediate oxidation. This process damages the vital, living nutrients inside.
2. Reduced Nutrient Absorption: Fresh Spirulina is highly bioavailable when consumed alone. Mixing it with other fibrous foods slows down and minimizes nutrient absorption as it passes through the digestive system.

Best Way to Consume Fresh Spirulina

• For maximum bioavailability, consume fresh Spirulina on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. This allows your body to quickly and efficiently absorb nutrients directly into the bloodstream within 10–15 minutes via the upper digestive system.
• Avoid mixing fresh Spirulina with other foods if you consume it for therapeutic purposes.

If You Still Want to Add It to Your Smoothie

If you prefer adding fresh Spirulina to your smoothie:

• Please don’t mix it with other ingredients.
• Instead, gently stir it into your smoothie at the end using a whisk or spoon to preserve its nutrients.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy fresh Spirulina while minimizing nutrient loss and maximizing its health benefits.
