Make sure to refrigerate the spirulina after opening. The rest can stay in a dark, dry, cool place like your cupboard. You'll like it. It's good stuff.

Dang, I'm gonna be glowing in the dark soon

You didn't get the other variety of pond scum, chlorella - I've heard you can photosynthesize yourself once you grow branches and leaves, just be careful not to shave them off

Sweet and simple one:
About 2 glasses of almond milk
6 figs, cut into small pieces
That's it. Add almond milk to desired consistency.

Here's one of our favorite green smoothies.
A cup of spinach, half a pomegranate, two green apples, a couple leafs of broccoli kale, half a carrot, a frozen banana and some goji-berries.
For liquid I use about a cup of coconut water.

After I bought another blender for the office I've changed around on my machines a bit.
The Blendtec Spacesaver now resides in my home, the home-edition sits at the office and my brother is very happy making juice out of just about anything with my Vitamix

Nice! I might have to get me one of these.

Birn, that recipe sounds very good indeed! I wonder if adding a bit of ginger to it as well would be nice? Put a nice burn in the back of your throat. (I'm a fan of raw ginger - my old singing teacher put me onto it as, among other things, it thins mucous).

James.

I'm definitely gonna try that for my smoothie tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the tip, James, it actually does sound like it could be a nice addition to that mix.

Parsley
Cilantro
Spinach

Carrots
Ginger
Banana
Gala Apple
Chai Seeds
Wheat Grass

If you add too much ginger it overpowers your beverage but yes, it does add a nice burn in the back of your throat.

Best spirulina imo. Available in a nice big bottle too
