A potent post-workout smoothie with delicious tropical flavors and a beautiful blue ocean-like swirl throughout.
This smoothie is full of tropical flavors like pineapple, banana, vanilla and has the added benefits plus a splash of fun from Blue Majik, blue spirulina from E3 Live. Blue Ocean Protein Smoothie also contains 2 of my favorite smoothie ingredients: chia seeds for fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids, plus hemp hearts for additonal Omega-3 plus protein. Both help "thicken" it like a milkshake, along with vanilla protein powder to make it a meal. I love Sun Warrior, Warrior Blend Vanilla, as it has a few different plant-based protein sources, no weird additives, and is friendly on the tummy.
Blue Majik! Blue spirulina is not only fun for giving foods a natural bright aqua hue, but contains nutrients and antioxidants, such as vitamin A and B12. It comes from a blue-green algae and contains phycocyanin, which may benefit the body's immune system after exercise, also help the brain fight oxidative stress, and may lower cholesterol. Phycocyanin is said to reduce physical discomfort especially in joints, which means you might feel better, do more! Plant-based and vegan.
