Anti-Inflammatory Blue Spirulina Smoothie Recipe
Blue spirulina is a superfood algae known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s rich in phycocyanin, which is what gives spirulina its vibrant blue hue and is responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects. Adding this powerhouse ingredient to your daily routine can help reduce inflammation, making it a fantastic addition to a healing diet—especially if you’re managing conditions like endometriosis, IBS, or other inflammation-related issues.
