This eye-catching aqua-colored powerhouse drink both revitalizes and feeds your body, blending fresh ingredients with nutrient-packed blue algae. The gorgeous turquoise shade comes straight from blue spirulina, while crisp fruits and veggies form a cool, thirst-quenching base that turns your daily nutrition into something you'll actually look forward to.
When I stumbled on blue spirulina while browsing my neighborhood health shop, I quickly made this juice part of my daily start. The way it perks me up without coffee's shakiness has completely changed my mornings, and my kids can't get enough of its magical ocean-blue look.
Key Ingredients Breakdown
- Blue spirulina powder: Go for premium, well-vetted brands
- Green apples: Look for hard, tangy ones for best taste
- Fresh celery: Pick bright, unblemished stalks
- Romaine lettuce: Choose vibrant, green bunches
- Filtered water: Good water makes a difference
- Optional ginger: Brings a warm kick
- Fresh lemon: Lifts all the flavors
Comprehensive Preparation Guide
- Getting Produce Ready:
- Rinse everything well. Chop apples into smaller chunks. Keep the celery leaves, just cut the bottoms. Wash lettuce thoroughly. Get all items prepped before you begin.
- Running The Juicer:
- Begin with leafy items. Mix with harder elements as you go. Feed slowly through machine. Watch your pulp levels. Wipe the spout if it clogs.
- Mixing In Spirulina:
- Use exact measurements of powder. Mix with a small juice portion first. Stir until fully dissolved. Pour into main juice batch. Look for powder clumps. Filter if needed.
- Putting It All Together:
- Mix everything well. Give it a taste test. Add ice if you want. Throw in some garnish if you're feeling fancy. Drink it right away. Keep leftovers properly sealed.

My entire morning changed after adding this blue wonder. The natural boost lasts way longer than my coffee used to, and I love knowing I'm starting my day with something that's actually good for me.
Serving Temperature Tips
Many folks want their juice super cold, but I've noticed room temp actually lets your body soak up the nutrients better. During hot weather, I'll toss in some ice, but usually serve it just slightly cool.
Keeping It Fresh
Keep in a sealed glass container filled to the brim to avoid air contact. It's definitely best fresh, but can hang out in your fridge for up to 24 hours if needed.
Weather-Based Variations
In summer months, I throw in cucumber for extra coolness. When it's cold outside, I'll add more ginger to bring some warmth.
