As a vegan one of the most common things people ask you is “How do you get your protein?” Well now you can tell them that you get it from blue-green algae, more specifically spirulina. This is a purely vegan source of complete protein. In addition, spirulina provides vegans with a plant source of omega 3’s. This is in addition to all of the antioxidant benefits of spirulina, also known as one of three “super” greens. The other two being green algae and red algae. It is recommended that you buy algae in powder form and mix it with water or juice. I personally had a tablespoon of spirulina in my apple juice this morning. I was afraid to drink it at first, but was surprised to find it that it didn’t taste bad at all.
