Day #15: Boost energy naturally….with spirulina!

Eat clean action step:

Visit your local health food store and purchase spirulina in powder form.  Mix 1 tsp of spirulina with 12 ounces of lime juice and freeze mixture into an ice cream tray. Pop a cube or two in water for an instant energy boost!

Spirulina is a fresh water algae that comes in green powder form, and is one of the most potent nutrient sources available. Classified as a “super food”, spirulina is high in vitamins, minerals, protein and has a high natural iron and B12 content (making it an excellent addition to the diet of vegans or vegetarians).  Spirulina is also rich in calcium and can help you reach your daily intake to keep bones strong and healthy.

Spirulina is known for its energy boosting effects and gentle detoxification properties. Simply add 1 teaspoon of spirulina to your morning smoothie or if the taste is too strong, spirulina capsules are available.
