My 'Green Giant'

So, Ive been trying to add Spirulina to different things. It made a YUMMY green smoothie.
In this picture is my beautiful green giant and Walter wishing she could chase all those birdies ;)
This is what was in it: Almond milk, about 5 strawberries, 2 handfuls spinach, 1 Tbsp spirulina (gave my smoothie a very dark green color) and 1 Tbsp sucanut for a little touch of sweetness. That with a Banana was the perfect breakkie!

Spirulina- my new superfood

Spirulina is an amazing superfood! It has DHA, its a complete protein and depending what brand you get can have 4-6 g of protein in 1Tablespoon. Its is also high in Iron, B1, B2, beta carotene and contains all essential amino acids. Its a great superfood for vegetarians and non veggies :)


So, what is it? It is a blue/green algea found in the sea and usually comes in flake, powder or capsule form. I have it in powder form and add it to smoothies, cereal, basically anything. It turns everything nice and green!!!

Delicious Vegan Cereal, or and its RAW too!

I call this cereal "Buckies" I soaked 1/2 cup Buckwheat groats in water overnight. Then I drained and rinsed them, them dehydrated them for about 4 hours until crunchy. If you dont have a dehydrator, you can put them in the oven at your lowest setting, keep the door open a bit with a fan aiming inside, a pain i know! I ate them with sliced banana, blueberries and almond milk.
Why Buckwheat? Its soooooooooo good for you. In 1/2 cup theres 10 g protien, 8 g fiber, 12% of your daily iron and tons of vitamins. So does it taste good? YES!! It has a nutty, wheatie taste and crunchy texture. You should try it.
