Mixing Spirulina Powder in Drinks
-
1
Mix spirulina powder into a sweet smoothie to mask the sea flavors. You can mix spirulina into just about any smoothie, but sweet, fruity smoothies work better to mask its flavor. Sprinkle about 1 tsp (5 g) of spirulina powder into your smoothie before blending. It will turn the mix a deep, dark green, but the flavor will be covered up by sugar and fruits.

Pineapple, banana, orange, and mango-based smoothies are best to mix with spirulina, but opt for any sweet, ripe fruit that calls to you.[1]
-
Spirulina powder also works well in spinach superfood smoothies, as it blends well with the savory ingredients without becoming overpowering.

Sprinkle some spirulina in your favorite juice to add a nutritional boost. In a bottle, combine the juice of a sweet fruit with about 1 tsp (5 g) of spirulina powder and shake it to dissolve the powder.
[2] This will almost instantly turn the drink a dark green, nearly black color, but the fruity flavors will still come through.
-
Mango juice, orange juice, or pineapple juice are perfect options to mix with spirulina powder.
-
Don't add the powder to your juicer, as it won't effectively blend it with your drink. Pour the juice into a bottle afterwards and shake it to mix it with spirulina.

Combine spirulina with matcha green tea for a creamy breakfast option. Matcha green tea is a calming and delicious coffee-shop drink, and it's already got a green color to it. Stir in about 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) of spirulina in a small matcha drink, or a full tsp (5 g) into a large one. The heat of the tea will quickly dissolve the powder and the fresh, green flavors blend well together.

This drink will have a relatively strong taste of spirulina, even mixed with the mellow and creamy matcha, so if you really don't like the taste of spirulina then opt to mix less into the drink. You can always have more later on in the day with other foods!

Add spirulina to a lemony cocktail, such as a lemon drop. There are not many cocktails that benefit from tasting like the ocean, but a tart and sour cocktail like the lemon drop martini easily covers up the off-putting flavors of spirulina and even bring out some of its more appetizing, fresh flavors. Stir about 1 tsp (5 g) of spirulina into the drink, and watch it turn a deep sea-green color.

To make a lemon drop martini, combine a shot of vodka with 3 parts lemon juice and 1 part simple syrup. Mix in the spirulina powder before you stir the martini, and add a lemon twist for garnish.
